Hair loss is not a symptom of ibs.

It may not be a symptom but it could still be linked in a way. If you are lacking in some type of mineral/vitamin this can cause hair loss. It depends how sever you are talking. Best to mention it when you next see gp. If you have ibs d you could be loosing vitamin/minerals quicker than you are replacing them.
