I've had bad gastric symptoms (mostly D) for about 6 months, and my doctors are considering IBS. However it is not daily at all (sometimes I feel fine). And when I know I'm going to have trouble, it is usually proceeded by a few days of exhaustion and dizziness. Does anyone else have symptoms like this? I have also lost ~30 lbs, which i understand is not akin to IBS. Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Hi, Tired9, Do you usually feel dizzy when or shortly after you are having bad (even watery) D? Do you drink water at all when you are having D? If not, it may be because you've lost too much water. It happened to me the first time my IBS symptoms occurred and I was alone at home -- didn't realize that I need to drink after losing so much water at first, but after drinking some water, I felt a little better.Take care
