Typically, people having IC struggle with keeping weight on. They find themselves feeling as if they are withering away and ultimately as they regain their balance from within, the weight comes back and stabilizes at a healthy place.

In few cases, weight can become a problem, in the opposite direction. We have read numerous articles, which, we will try and gather that discusses contributing factors in these cases. But, this is one that we found to be interesting that someone just sent us. It supports others that we have read about antibiotics affecting the gastrointestinal tract and then in turn–weight.

We do think this can go both ways. However, this particular research is focused in the one direction.
