Also forgot to say some days I have wind that is so severe I cannot have people around. The last time was a few days ago, I was farting every 3 to 5 minutes and each passage of wind could take up to 30 seconds. It is no joking matter as it is totally debilitating and uncomfortable.
hi, I have type 1 diabetes and had been on metformin for a long time but not any more. I can't say I remember noticing any difference but then I have lived with IBS for years now too.
recently with a change of dr and a chance remark I got tested and found out I need to take creon as I am missing the enzyme the pancreas produces to help you absorb your food properly.
I have only been on it for 2 weeks and can't give an opinion on it at the moment because I also adjusted my diet,. reduced carbs, fat, sugar and increased salads, veg and fruit. I am trying to lose weight or the umpeeeenth time!!!!...it is never successful.
I started slimming world but felt dreadful.
I still don't feel great tummy wise and it is embarrassing. luckily im not around any people!!
but my bloods are very hard to control and fluctuate soooo much.
I am on thyroxine and also have fibmyalgia/CFS/ME and so I am trying to slowly build my stamina and strength
I would like to know more about the creon and diabetes but can't find much info on it or anyone else who takes it.
my gp doesn't know much about it either other than what she read in her text book when I as with her.
she wonders if as my body may have adjusted to my tummy as it is for years that the adjustment to creon and increased salad etc may take a while to settle.
I do dip in and out of salads but strangely I find salad on its own spikes my sugars!!!....even though I have taken insulin even though there may not be carbs or very low carbs so I have adjusted that too now. sweet corn to build up the carb.
still achy and bloaty and tired and smelly and fed up
but loving that toilet humour......always makes me giggle! the inner child
