[QUOTE="Sosgez, post: 2208951, member: 518889"] Having just had a 5 day bowel trauma, I'm again wondering if there's good evidence of a connection between diabetes and bowel problems. It sounds plausible, but proving it would appear tricky. A good correlation doesn't prove causality on its own. My 20 year diabetic experiences run parallel with 20 years of bowel problems, but maybe the latter would have appeared even if I were not a diabetic? It seems obvious that bad eating habits produced both. I can appreciate that the gut is a complex system and its controlled by nerves, which can be damaged by too much sugar, though we tend to think initially of the periphery first: toes and hands. But for some its also eyes and kidneys. Surely every part if the nerve system is susceptible? I don't see a lot of discussion of this on the web. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, or perhaps people don't like talking about it? [/QUOTE]
