Hi i can’t find the forum for Ulcerative Colitis and type two Diabetis.
I’ve been type two 16 yrs and had U/C 29 years.
In 2008 I had a very bad flare up of U/C and was in hospital for two months. they stopped the Metformin as it was blocking the U/C meds Mesalazine (Asacol) resulting in the flare up.
my colon and rectum were both terribly inflamed and ulcerated. It was very horrible time.
I got e-coli C diff while in hospital.
I was given a temporary loop illiostomy that leaked. Had that for nearly two years until it blocked four times in as many months resulting in two weeks in hospital to fix it.
Then it was reversed ( awful surgery)
After that I had infusions of Infliximab regularly for five years. As I couldn’t have Asacol.
So for the last six years or so. I take nothing for the U/C but careful what I eat.
and Gliclazide, Poiglitazol, insulin pen for diabetes. Metformin is a problem for most people.
take care xxxx
HI to you Brunneria,
What symptoms do you start with U/C I have been having problems with my bowel and they said I have ibs but my daughter has U/C she had a colostomy bag this year as she was in a really bad way.I am just wondering will I need different tests.
Is it related to type 2 at all.
Sparklebrightisright.
Ok Sorry I must have read it wrong.Hi
I don’t have UC, and really don’t know enough about it to give you any advice.
The best thing you can do is have a word with your doc to see if they think you need the appropriate tests.

Hi Sparkle and All. sorry I’m not I online a lot.
I hope Sparkle your daughter is managing her stoma ok. and that you have seen your Dr about your bowel now.
IBD is much different to U/C with this people usually bleed a lot. I know I did
I using Tresiba insulin and have just been given and extra injection called Ozempic used once a week.
Ozempic is supposed to work with the insulin.
I’m told I’m insulin resistant.
So blood sugars are better but……. It causes constipation along with other side effects I’m not happy with. Using Cosmocol now to help as I must not get blocked up or I’ll be in trouble. (So my Gastrology surgeon says)
Be well everyoneMaddy
Hi @Happy hippy
I've been following this thread since you started it, but haven't chipped in because my issue was rather different.
However, I can confirm that for me, going carnivore was the single best thing I did to settle my gut stuff down.
Please don't take that as any kind of suggestion that you will find the same thing.
Long story short:
Got Ghiardia, got rather ill, for a long time (basically irritable bowel), got gut permeability, felt v rough, malnutrition through malabsorption, couldn't tolerate any fibre at all, leaving me with meat, fish, eggs, cheese that worked. Also white carbs, but obviously couldn't tolerate them as a T2. Most people are over Ghiardia in weeks, but it took 2+ years for me to recover. Am now, still, rather scared of fibre in any veg form, but (strangely) can tolerate nuts.
Never for a moment in the past 50 years did I contemplate giving up veg - they were an endlessly interesting and varied part of my diet. However, following over 3 months in the loo, I embraced carnivore with a feeling of delighted liberation, and have been happy eating it since. There was a weird period of transition though, while my poor digestive tract emerged from its shocked and traumatised state and actually began to digest what I was eating.
Problem foods for me are most (all) veg, and any gluten, also FODMAP foods.
