IBS rarely causes weight loss. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago, and believe me, I have fought my weight the entire time. He desperately needs physical activity. I find the more active I am and the more water I drink, the less my IBS bothers me. He also needs to be eating high fiber foods, or take a fiber supplement. he should avoid candy and high fat stuff like burgers and fries. He also needs to avoid seeds, like sesame and sunflower. Get him into soccer, or scate boarding, something that will keep him active and moving. The fact that he carries most of his weight around his middle is setting him up for heart disease. Men especially are dying in their twenties now from sudden cardiac arrest from obesity and lack of aerobic exercise. Good luck to you.

If he has had symptoms of IBS for a long time please get this checked out. The longer you wait to get things checked out the more harm can be done if would be something other than IBS. You son deserves to get this looked into so make the appointment and have him checked by the doc. The doc will also advise you about his weight and figure out what is causing his fatigue. I am surprised though that you never mentioned this to his doctor when you took him in for his yearly physical. Good Luck.
