Hello,

Severe fatigue is a symptom of IBS due to weakened immune system. Fatigue in IBS is caused by Acid reflux, GERD, Obesity which causes lack of sleep, indigestion, nutritional deficiencies due to bad metabolism. You are suggested to avoid oily, spicy food. Cut on addictions (alcohol, caffeine, etc) if any. Take small meals multiple times a day, stay well hydrated. Avoid constipation & take fiber rich food.

Lose weight, get active do regular exercises. Avoid stress & tensions(emotional & physical). Take antacids & PPI's & the prescribed medicines by your treating doctor to get rid of IBS. Get treated at the earliest. Take multi vitamin supplements to feel better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
