Ok this is kind of embarrassing but I need advice. Every time my sugar spikes, no matter if I get my blood glucose levels down again a couple of hours later, I end up with the most awful wind for the rest of the day if not longer! :oops:

I've been type 1 for 15 years but this has only starting happening in the last couple of years and I've no idea why. I also go between constipation and diarrhea quite a lot too even when my bg levels are relatively normal. I've also become intolerant to cows milk the last year as well.

Any help / advice would be much appreciated.

hya,
i would visit your g.p as there could be many causes :)
 
As said could be lots of causes - I do know that when I have eaten refined sugary things, I suffer very badly from foul wind.

But despite the embarrassment it should be checked out by your doctor.
 
yingal,

You really need to go and see your gp about this condition, alternating between diarrhea and constipation is not normal and a examination must be sought to rule out a stomach or bowel condition. My eldest had similar symptom's to yours and after a full examination it came back he had ulcerative colitis (UC) but this is not to say this is the case with you, but just the same you need to see your gp and hopefully get started on some treatment to resolve the issue.

I think you are all right about going to see the doctor. I just wanted the opinions of fellow diabetics! :D Thanks for the replies. I will go see the doc on Monday!

Cheers! X
