Does IBS usually mean malabsorption of nutrients from the food we eat? Been troubling me for the past couple of years. Lost a couple of kgs and think it is due to this.

You bet your pocketchange it can and does.
Ever since I developed IBS like 6 1/2 years ago, people love to note how "skinny" I have become and that I should eat more (laughable, I'd be eating 24/7 if it was up to me). Things got better over small periods of time but over the last year I had these flare-ups that point towards SIBO (the last I haven't made heads&tails of for 2 1/2 months now) and I'm at a point where my new doctor called me "malnourished" the minute she saw me without a shirt. I began to cry then and there (I used to be an athlete before all this kinda ruined my life).
