[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1972134, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! I have a friend with Crohns, and I get that gut stuff and colitis can totally dominate your life - in a really miserable way. Sometimes we have to prioritise our health conditions, in order to be comfortable (and stay sane). I am a low carber, and have been for years, but in your situation I wouldn’t hesitate to choose foods that helped the colitis (or at least avoided triggering it). If that meant eating low fibre, or no garlic, or avoiding certain things and relying on carbs instead, then I would be doing that. Then I would turn to dealing with the type 2 as a second step. But I would definitely be dealing with it. Months of blood glucose that high won’t be doing you any good at all, and will be increasing your future risk of diabetic complications. So can you go to your healthcare team and rquest (politely but firmly) that they put together a drug regime that will allow you eat a diet that avoids half the day on the toilet, agonizing cramps and bleeding ulcers? You only get one gut, and it REALLY pays to look after it. Wishing you all the best. My friend has already had part of the gut removed due to strictures, and may be heading towards a second op. So if you need to eat a certain way to preserve your gut, then it just makes sense, doesn’t it? [/QUOTE]
