Hi
Last July I was rushed into surgery for a twisted bowel, I have never come across this before or heard of anyone having it. I have googled it to find out what can cause this to happen but all I get is Crohn’s disease and bowel cancer which I have neither. It was a awlful experience and 4 weeks after was rushed in surgery again due to a obstruction caused by adhesions ( scar tissue causing a obstruction. I busted wondered can diabetes cause something like this to happen. Also I read that diabetes causes constipation which I do suffer with, I take senakot which works well but cannot use long term. Can anyone advise what is best to combat constipation maybe my bowels have slowed down since surgery but I do drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day not including tea or coffee and try to eat a fair amount of fibre like porridge, bananas, veg etc... just wondered if anyone has had similar
