Brief Answer:
Need evaluation for weight loss

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the query. I understand your concern.

Well there is a need to look into your weight loss. Your other general profile reports look otherwise ok except for some low vitamin B 12 and Vitamin D. But they are unlikely to cause weight loss.

Worthwhile getting some tests like thyroid function test, sonography of abdomen and repeating two more stool routine tests.

Also if loose stools are severe or persistent, I will order for colonoscopy. Your gastroenterologist will know about it.

Good that you have stopped alcohol though after such a long time. You need to look into some anxiety component to your symptoms too. If anxiety exists, it should be treated as well. Some lifestyle modification will help you.
1) Eating on time
2) Taking adequate sleep
3) Regular walking
4) Avoiding sleep 2 hours after meals
5) Cutting down on stress and anxiety

Also consulting a gastroenterologist at Hinduja like Dr XXXXXXX desai, Dr P XXXXXXX Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX will help you.
All this will help you to control symptoms in long run.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for the query.
IBS is not curable but it can be well controlled with medications and some times it may remain silent for years without medications too.
I am not sure of ayurvedic or homeopathic medications though we do not recommend them.
