Prediabetes
Treatment type
Diet only
I have a really embarrassing issue. I get a sudden urge to defecate and loose total control
This is causes me a total loss of dignity and embarrassment. I always have a spare leggings in my bag!
I went onto a low carb diet when diagnosed with prediabetes and fast until at least lunch time sometimes longer. It usually happens after first time of eating in the day.
This doesn't happen every day or even week but is a real issue when it does happen
I am going to keep a food diary and contact GP but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this type of oroblem
 
Is there any pattern other than when you first eat? By that I mean is there also a particular type food you have eaten that maybe part of the equation. I'm thinking food intolerances , lactose, gluten or fats or any of the FODMAPs . I'm intolerant of lactose, gluten and fats. Lactose will cause me to have IBS , Gluten because I'm have coeliac, and high fats give me nausea and IBS. Serious diarrhea can ensue with all three. Keeping a food diary sounds like a good step. I did about 9 months of very low carb several years ago, I did not have any ill effects from the diet other than losing too much weight.
