Advice - stomach issues?

[mairiward92]

Hi I've been diabetic since I just turned 18 I'm now 23. For the past 2 years I've been having trouble with my stomach, as in my bowls. It's either very constipated or very loose, does anyone else have these problems? I've seen so many doctors who keep putting it down to ibs, but I really feel that's not the case. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome @mairiward92

I'm going to tag @donnellysdogs as she knows about digestion and stomach issues, I believe, and may have some helpful suggestions.

Does anything set your symptoms off or are they constant? How's your diabetes control?

I had IBS problems before I was diagnosed with T1. After diagnosis I went on a strict LCHF diet and it cleared up completely. Certain foods can still upset my stomach such as too many almonds , fizzy drinks, really high fibre foods etc.

You should look at what you are eating and by process of elimination remove the foods that are causing the upsets.
