Find what is wrong: B"sd ibd - irritable bowel or inflammatory bowel disease ? My approach is to look at body indices. this just published yesterday: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/crim/2016/1526175/ You should also have evaluation for metabolic/hormonal factors that may be contributing to your weight problem. Would be glad to discuss individual details with you
