Hi all.
Does any one juggle Type 2 and IBS?
I'm struggling with extreme bowel issues and trying to follow a low carb diet for my Type 2.
Hba1c was up after lockdown and the death of my mother, so horrible Diabetes Nurse wanted me on Metformin and Gliclazide, though didn't explain properly. (Gastro consultant had swapped me to Gliclazide to see if Metformin was making my problems worse)
I'm doing low carb , but actually frightened to eat as I'm so bloated and in pain. Last Wednesday I had chronic diarrhoea, but not passed anything since, despite taking Laxido. Was sent to hospital on Thursday by my GP, but bloods didn't show anything (they suspected a flare up of Diverticular)
How do I juggle a diet that is right for both IBS, Diverticular and Type 2?
I am keeping a Food Diary, but can't identify any triggers
I have an appointment to see a Dietician on 25th, (postponed because of Covid) but what do I eat in the meantime?
