I have ibs that causes diarrhea often can i be loosing calories i eat if so how many should i eat to balance it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not losing calories: Patients with ibs more frequently have multiple loose stools rather than true diarrhea which requires 250 grams of stool per day. Usually with ibs you are not malabsorbing nutrients so important nutrients are not lost. There are treatments for ibs and i would encourage you to see your doctor to discuss.
