food digestive problems

[kimlouise1502_]

Help I need some advice, feel oes anybody have problems with their food digestive system. I have been a type 1 for 37 years next month and for the last few weeks I am having trouble digesting my food. The longest is 15 days and at the moment it's been 4 days so I have been taking laxatives every few days. I eat fibre and having been eating prunes but still nothing. Any help and advice will be much appreciated.

Go see your doctor would be the only advice we can give.

Prunes constipate me. Too much fiber or the wrong fiber.

Hi kim i have been having similar problems for past year. i have been having digestion problems feeling full after eating a bit feel bloated badly. And constantly constipated and food digesting very slow and the wierd thing is i never feel hungry literally at all even if my stomach is empty at all which is very scary. I find my sugar is very hard to maintain and goes high and very low somtimes. I feel as thow sometimes my insulin doesnt work or affect me sometimes i will inject and it dont work which i carnt understand why. my advice is to try see docs and try get referral for specialist see if they can help.
