What is the question: Your question is unclear. Are you trying to lose weight? With a bmi of 18, you certainly should not be trying to lose weight. Ibs is associated with abdominal bloating as well as episodes of diarrhea and constipation. Usually more fiber is of benefit.

I would also ...: Consider taking probiotics. They can help your sx. I agree with the good doctor, already answering the question-you do not need to lose weight!
