IBS or IBD
I have this prblm since 1 yr how can I distinguish its IBS or IBD I m worried .. I have these symptoms unfirmed stools indigestion bloat anxiety panic attacks as periods approach symptoms get worst worst I m also losing weight without trying since 1 yr sometimes I have all these symptoms sometimes normal I will b healthy I also have lower abdomen point pain which doesn't show in scan should i take ct scan ? Point pain which doesn't radiate is it IBS or IBd ? I m nutrient deficient
IBD is a destructive structural disease driven by chronic immune system inflammation, while IBS is a functional disorder where the gut looks normal but does not move correctly.... sometimes leading to diarrhea and sometimes to constipation.
Other than IBD or IBS other reasons can be SIBO, parasitic infection, malabsorption etc etc
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): An excess of bacteria in the small intestine can disrupt normal digestion, leading to heavy bloating and food particles passing through too soon.
Malabsorption or Enzyme Shortages: Conditions like lactose intolerance or a lack of pancreatic enzymes mean your body cannot properly process and extract nutrients from what you eat.
Next Steps
bloating, undigested food particles in stool, nutritional deficiencies, water especially when associated with weight loss, it mandates evaluation. meet a gastroenterologist

Please don’t self diagnose based just on your symptoms:
Take full consultations .
It might be. PSOM pre menstrual symptoms, some female experience series of such symptoms few days before their menses start. And there is proper guidance and medication for that .
