  • I have IBS and sometimes with the cycles of diarrhea and constipation with additional "treats" of bloating and gas, I have weight gains. I don't worry about it. I just keep logging my food and walking. IBS is hard to manage and I know that water retention and dehydration will be tricks with the scale. Peggy
