recently terminated because of IBS...anyone else??

That's a lot of trips to the toliet, even for someone with IBS-D. I think you need to talk to Sarita and listen to what all she's had done because she's the only one on here who's had your level of diarrhea. Maybe what has helped her will help you.

I lost weight when I first got sick with my gall bladder, but I eventually gained it all back, even though I was still having frequent GB attacks. I just overate when I was feeling better to make up for when I wasn't. Also, your body will adjust to calorie loss and slow your metabolism down to match. That's why everyone hits the "dieter's plateau"; it's your body fighting against weight loss. From an evolutionary standpoint, weight loss is bad, which is why the body fights against it; skinny, sick creatures are the first to get eaten. Of course you may be thinner than you know, but it is not showing because of the bloating.

I'd be irritible and tired too if I was as sick as you! I don't think there's anyone who doesn't feel drained (no pun intended) when they have diarrhea.
