Just struggling now :( can anyone else relate?

Thanks for replying

I am not convinced, every thing I have read on IBS states it does not cause weight loss.....

I have a Gastro dr appointment this evening as I cannot take this anymore & need a colonoscopy IMMEDIATELY

Well of course it causes weight loss.
Firstly an IBS sufferer has to change their whole diet and eat smaller portions.
Secondly the anxiety causes weight loss alone.
I've had IBS since childhood. 50 years of it.
For me the one and only good thing about having an IBS flare-up is that I have to adjust my diet, eat healthily and LOSE WEIGHT! It's really the only time I manage to lose any weight.

I am honestly so scared, everything is running through my head at the moment, I will I accept a diagnosis of CC, I get married in October & will now have to postpone......OMG Im wrecked, genuinely wrecked, I feel sick to the bottom of my stomach......
