Always cold and fatigued. I'm losing hair too (like I can't tie up my hair anymore, because you'll see bald patches), and my IBS keeps getting worse, even though I usually eat properly for it. Every time I go to the doctor, my blood tests come back ok, I'm told I'm a healthy young woman, and it's all in my head. It's making me so fucking depressed.
Also I try exercising, and it doesn't really noticeably help, and sometimes makes me feel even more fatigued.

Doctor visits can honestly be frustrating as hell. I feel you anon.

That's terrible. I'm so sorry. Do you go to a GI specialist? I don't know anything about IBS, but the hair loss is super concerning. What do you have to cut to manage your IBS? Are you vegetarian? I did know someone that was a super picky vegetarian who began losing her hair - it turned out that she had massive deficiencies across the board because she hardly ate any protein (she basically ate only pasta). She was also frequently cold because she had become iron deficient and anemic. All she had to do was diversify her diet a bit and take some vitamins.

I know that's probably not what going on with you, but I do hope it's a simple fix like that.

Thanks for the support. The IBS diet is a low FODMAP diet, where you cut out foods with "fodmaps" in them, like onions and food with gluten. It's a weird, restricting diet, but I still get to eat a fair amount meat and veggies, so I don't think has to do with protein deficiency.
I am thinking of getting my iron tested again, because I really do think I fit the symptoms of that. It would be so great if that's what could resolve it.

Have you been tested for coeliac disease? The hair loss, fatigue, and IBS-like symptoms are all consistent with that. It wouldn't show in more generalised blood tests either.

No I haven't. I'm going to look more into this, thanks anon!

Hopefully it's that! It's an easy fix (more dietary changes but at least that means your symptoms would clear up). Good luck!
