Hi @susie1953.
You seem to have hit a brick wall. (((((hugs)))))
Did they explain how the diabetes was affecting your stomach problems? Was autonomic neuropathy mentioned?
Have you been given a diet sheet and some information with this new diet? Is there any follow up with a dietitian?

hi yes I feel I have hit a brick wall ,the dietitian said any food change wouldn't change it ,the dr said that because my blood sugars was 69 last year I had diabities for some time without knowing it and it had affected the nerves in my stomach I don't handle fat very well .autonomic neuropathy wasn't mentioned I havnt been given a diet sheet just to cut down on fat and carbs thank you for your reply catherine
This article explains autonomic neuropathy. As you can see, your digestive tract, including your stomach can be affected.
I hope you manage to work out a menu that suits you. It will mean trial and error and can take a while. There may be other members who are suffering with this and I hope that they might be able to help.
Take care.

Hi Susie 1953. I so sympathised with you when I read that you have awful runs every morning. For years I have suffered with this complaint until in desperation I went back to my GP last year and blood tests showed that I am Non Coeliac Gluten Intolerant, I changed to a gluten free diet with my doctor's agreement and there was a marked improvement but it was even better when I tried a2 milk. Apparently most milk has the a1 protein and it's that that can cause digestive problems. To give you an example, I was taking loperamide for the runs quite a few times a week. Since I started taking a2 milk a few weeks ago I've only had to take loperamide once and that was because I'd overdone it a bit the night before. Hope this helps. I really wish I'd tried this milk sooner
