Is there any other type 1's out there that have been diagnosed with 'Multiple Auto Immune Diseases'?
How did you get diagnosed? What sort of Medical Practitioner did you consult? I feel that I may be have a few different issues going on after 42 years of being type 1, but everything gets blamed only on my type 1 diabetes, and I am told that the government won't just pay for tests because I ask for them. I paid privately to have some testing done for food intolerance, and apparently I shouldn't eat dairy. nuts, eggs, spurilina (added to many foods) , soy., corn syrup. I was only to eat any food 1 x every 4 days. I was going to an ayvedic practitioner for acupuncture for the pain in my legs and feet (has helped) and his advice was to avoid any root vegetables, and only eat chicken, turkey and duck, and gave me a list of foods to eat at least 3 days a week if possible. He told me I should avoid eating the same food more than 2 x per week, and preferably not on consecutive days. I went for the breath testing for food intolerance and tested intolerant to fructose, but my diabetic specialist told me that unless I had constant diarrhea I should still eat fruit. So over the last year or 2 eating is becoming a bit of a nightmare. I have always been fairly slim, but when I tried the LCHF method of eating I got down to 50kg and I am 5'9" so it was a bit light! I also found that I couldn't eat much fat without feeling a bit sick. With the later intolerance testing I now cant have butter or yoghurt or cheese or eggs which were my main fats. So as you can see most of my food is green! I realise I will just have to sort out what foods suit me best personally, but I would like to ascertain where the major problems lie- liver, pancreas, small intestine?? Has anyone had similar issues and found good results? : ) The acronym did make me smile though...
