weight loss?

so lately I’ve had infection after infection, I just got over an overgrowth bacteria infection. But now I’ve had diarrhea for 2 weeks (tmi) lol. But I’ve lost close to 9lbs in 2 weeks. Which my body goes into these stages where I don’t feel like eating, and it happens randomly. But I’ve never noticed a great deal or weight loss, I haven’t changed my diet other than not being as hungry as usual and having diarrhea for 2 weeks. So it’s kinda worrying me something serious is wrong, but I just had a full blood work scan done a week ago and everything came back normal. WBC, RBC, plattes (idk how to spell them) everything was normal. So could it just be the diarrhea? It has recently stopped. But my lymph nodes in my neck are also extremely painful and swollen. And they think I might have a colon parasite or virus. Opinions?

Do you have SIBO?(small intestine bacterial overgrowth) I was diagnosed with it several months ago through a breath test. Also had stool studies done to check for parasites, e coli and other microorganisms, but those came back negative. My bloodwork was also fine. If SIBO they usually treat with a combo of antibiotics but it is difficult to treat. Some people take certain supplements as well; some help others don't; it varies with everyone. I felt awful for months with stomach pain and diarrhea and generally feeling like crap. You may have food sensitivities, too. There is a forum on Stuff That Works that helps.
