What Causes Lightheadedness, Diarrhea, Green Stool, Headache And Poor Weight Gain?

I know that I m not eating enough on certain days and when I go to school I get light headed and dizzy sometimes, I also believe that I have IBS but my doctor told me they have to diagnose me to be for sure, I always get a sick feeling in my intestinal area or belly and ive been having dirrahea for over a week and sometimes its green, sorry for being do descriptive but I want to know if this is just because I m not eating healthy enough or can it be something else? I get lots of headaches and migraines, I also don t gain a lot of weight its not like I want to lose weight but I feel like everything I eat I don t take on a lot of weight, I m only around 105-110pounds, please tell me if there is more to my problems then just not eating right

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is more.
IBS is almost always associated with stress and anxiety.
There is no intestinal pathology.
So we should first rule out organic intestinal causes for this.
So get done ultrasound examination of abdomen, stool examination, CBC (complete blood count).
If all these are normal then possibility of IBS is more.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Take Librax tablet twice daily after food for 1-2 months.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Take high fiber diet like vegetables, pulses, Fruits etc.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
