2020-06-04 06:17:20
I have IBS and GERD and vit b12 deficiency. I have diarheaa 3-4 times a day and I am suffering this since past 9 months. I have begun treatment but I am facing weight loss of 2.5 kg since last 2 weeks without trying. Should I be worried? I have hunger and I am eating well.

2.5 kg in 2 weeks is significant. It needs to be evaluated. Wait for 2 more weeks, and if the weight loss continues, consult a doctor
