Hello Doctor,
I'm suffering from IBS and IBS Diarrhea predominantly. I consulted a gastro 3 years back, and I was prescribed Lesuride OD 75 for some days. But once I stopped taking it, my symptoms returned back. Now also I need to take electral powder few days a week to manage the diarrhea. I have leaky gut and need to go 4 5 times a day for passing stools..they are mostly semi solid. Whenever I eat anything I get bloating, gas and feel consistent weakness and tiredness due to all this. I work in IT industry so stress is a part of my life. I feel weakness in my legs everyday. I'm unable to gain weight due to this. My height is 5.2 feet and weight remains in the range 46 to 47 kg. I'm getting social anxiety and unable to live life fully. Whenever I eat I get the sensation of passing poop. In a month, I get loose motions several times which drains my energy and I get lethargic. I feel dizziness and have got food anxiety for eating anything. I do yoga 5 days a week for 20 mins.
