I am really struggling with both managing my diabetes and my IBS.
I feel rubbish a lot of the time.
Tried to focus on figuring out what triggers my IBS. I mostly struggle with bloating, abdominal pains and diarrhoea. Metformin definitely hasn't helped with that one. Although slow release is better. But am still no the wiser really.
Usual culprits are apparently gluten, dairy, onions, garlic, cauliflower, leeks, fruit, fat Although I haven't found any patterns or obvious culprits.
It's meant I haven't really focused totally on managing a better diet for my diabetes. And am still using food for comfort. Especially caffeine (which probably needs to be eliminated for my IBS )
Anyone have any advice as to what to eat. Or which to focus on first? I feel completely fed up with it. I am 6 stone overweight and on 2000mg metformin. I would like both gone.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks.
