Hi there,
I have been a T1D for about 14 years now. Admittedly, I haven't been good at caring for it, but I have recently taken control now and my numbers are looking better than before. I don't drink that often, and when I was in uni, I would of course get drunk with my peers, but nothing that occured regularly or even as often as most kids that age do. Everything was fine and I had no problems with it. But now, I have noticed that I get a very sore and upset stomach the day after drinking (even just a glass or two of wine). I was at dinner with a friend last week and she poured a few glasses of wine for people. I stopped after three because I didn't want to get drunk or have a tough bout with a hypo later. I took my insulin as should be and went to bed. But the day after, I experienced a sore, gassy and watery stomach, needing to stay by a bathroom most of the day. This has occured several times, every time I have had alcohol the previous day. Has anyone ever experienced this? I have it every time I drink now, and my doctor says that it isn't anything he has heard of before. I am worried because I don't drink that much or that often, never have...but would like to be able to have a bit on occassions such as weddings, parties and New Year's. Can anyone please help?
