[QUOTE="Beshlie, post: 675463, member: 88983"] On 19 July I was rushed to hospital with an Ischemic bowel, part of my small and large bowel had died and had to be removed in emergency surgery or it could have killed me, then my small and large bowel was resected. One of the after effects of this surgery is chronic diarrhoea which can be controlled by having a colostomy or medication and diet. At the moment I am trying the meds and diet, but, the diet is more or less the opposite of the one I eat to control my diabetes! eg: white bread, no vedg or salad, bananas, porridge, which I haven't touched since I was diagnosed. I just don't know how to balance the bowel resection diet and the diabetes diet for which I am diet controlled. My BS numbers have been between 4 and about 7.2 (2hrs after eating), and often I have to eat something because my level goes very low and I feel light headed. Also, I lost another nearly 2 stones since I became ill, which makes a total 5 stones weight loss - is this why my BS numbers are not as high as I expected? I would like to avoid having a colostomy if possible, yet with one it would be easier to eat my diabetes diet - it's a dilemma! Anyway, I'm back with you now, but still recovering from this big op! I've been told it can take up to a year....... Have'nt had time yet to catch up with the threads, but hope you are all doing well:). [/QUOTE]
