[QUOTE="Philip60, post: 366576, member: 16482"] Hi Claire, Sorry you're having such a bad time at the moment. You mentioned IBS - have you considered gluten intolerance? It's often linked with t1 diabetes, and can cause loss of weight and IBS-like symptoms. You could try going on a gluten-free diet for a few days and seeing if it made any difference. Nowadays there's lots of good gf stuff available, but be careful to read the labels - things like soup and processed foods that you don't expect can often have gluten in. Basically avoid anything with wheat, barley & rye. Oats are nomally considered ok as they have a different type of gluten which even most coeliacs can tolerate. Philip [/QUOTE]
