I'm having odd weight issues

A few months ago I was rushed into hospital with excruciating stomach pains. Turned out to be IBS and I was given something to "relieve" it and ended up spending the next 4 days on the toilet.

In the space of a week I lost half a stone.

Anyway since then I have been eating normally (normal for me is numerous chocolate bars, crisps, crap 'snack' lunches, frozen processed food etc!) and I'm still losing weight.

I am now in a size 12 (I've never been a size 12 before, even when I was a skinny teen, I could never get in a 12 as I was really tall and they wouldn't fasten.

Now, size 12 jeans are falling down on me.

Any idea what could be wrong?

You do need to see your GP if you are loosing this much weight. It could be a number of things, malabsorption for example. Keep an eye on your weight and get them to refer you to a gastroenterologist again or make an appointment if you already have one.
