So now they say I'm TOO thin...? I was so proud that I went from 175 to 131 (I'm 5'6") over the course of several months using regular exercise and a low calorie diet.  I'm 38 and have been somewhat overweight my whole adult life.  However, I can't seem to stop losing it, and now I'm down to 121.  My doctor had told me to stop losing when I hit 130 or so.  My appetite isn't great, and I have chronic tummyaches and diarrhea (but I've had IBS for years now).  The thing is, I have a habit of eating low fat and low sugar foods.  I'm afraid if I eat rich foods I'll get fat again, but I don't want to look bony like I do now.  Plus, I'm not completely sure I could eat more if I wanted to; I have no appetite in the morning and my belly hurts too badly to eat half the day.  If I lose 7 more lbs I'll be cosidered "underweight" according to the bmi charts.  Boy, this is starting to sound whiny.  The question is:   am I becoming anorexic (although I routinely eat at least 1200 calories a day)?  Or do I have a physical problem?

Summarized question: What is the best diet for someone with IBS who is trying to maintain weight?
