Why have i been loosing weight? i have digestive peoblems, i was supposedly diagnosed with ibs but had no test. whatcis wrong with my digestive system

See a GI doc...: Weight loss is not usually part of the constellation of symptoms attributable to ibs (irritable bowel syndrome). You should see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation to determine whats going on. Good luck!
