High calories: Boost and ensure are popular food supplements. Ovaltine is a supplement that has been around for years. Follow the precautions and instructions provided by the manufacturer of these supplements.

Rethink diagnosis: If you're losing a lot of weight, you should reconsider your diagnosis. Although it's possible to lose weight with ibs, most people with this condition are able to muddle through without unintentional weight loss. Inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorbtion syndromes, depression and other problems can occur regardless of whether or not you have ibs. Any of these could cause weight loss.
