[QUOTE="RoseofSharon, post: 1164861, member: 272945"] Hi I'm type 2 so things are slightly different for me, however I too have IBS and find that what I eat definitely has an effect. Knowing what to eat when the diagnosis hits can be a challenge, as you have to juggle whats good for the blood sugar, with the general household diet, with what is going to make you run to the loo urgently (sorry tmi I know). For me I had all of that worked out, and was happily not eating until late afternoon/early evening before I was diagnosed and then bam! Then diagnosis came and I had to change my diet yet again. Nowdays I find that a liquid lunch (usually a can of soup) is quite nice and doesnt feel as though I am having a heavy stodgy meal. I don't now if that would help your dad at all. Talk to your dad it may be that amongst other things he just doesnt know what he can eat without upsetting that delicate balance. In terms of sweeteners I can totally relate but have found that splenda is about the nicest of the bunch, however it is personal taste preference which sometimes we need to reeducate. [/QUOTE]
