I want to lose a lot of weight. For the past 2 years or so I've had diarrhea at least 5 times or more a week. I've tried eliminating certain foods and that didn't seem to help. I'm only assuming I have something chronic (IBS, Crohn's, etc.) Doc doesn't think so, but I can't understand how I have diarrhea almost daily. You would THINK I'd lose some weight with this issue, but oh no... no such luck.

Anyone else on their weight loss journey with stomach issues? I'm really tired of it. I've called in sick so many times to work because of it. Perhaps it's time to see a gastroenterologist.

    I agree, see a specialist. I know that MetRx bars are a bit hard on me, same with energy bars, not sure why, I try to avoid. See that Doc!

    Perhaps you are consuming too much fiber, mushrooms send me running back and forth. Hope nothing serious.

    In a family with many digestive issues.
    It could be an allergy, intolerance, IBS, Crohn's, Celiac, etc.
    So many things it could be.

    Ibs runs I'm my family, so I just assume I have it. I just started taking an iron supplement I'm hoping that helps!
