Since my diagnosis of type 2 in March I've been following a LCFF diet, which was going well until about 2 weeks ago, now I've developed the most awful diarumpus like really bad.
Im reluctant to change too much as I'm losing weight, and keeping control of my BG but my stomach is an explosive gurgling mess.
I'm not on metaformin, so can't blame that, can any one suggest something to errmm settle things down a tad
 
I do think it can take a while for your digestive system to settle to a new regime, maybe you are eating more veggies now ? Could you try something like Gaviscon ? I`m sure as you progress , things will calm down a little, hope so for your sake
 
I've tried peptobismol which worked for a wee while, but I don't want to keep taking it, it's making excercise difficult - can't walk too far from home!!
 
Oh dear, poor you, maybe a word with your Doctor is best , it could be a pesky bug
 
Possibly - I've not felt sick though. I do work around children - so bugs are always around the place
 
Have you considered taking Imodium for a couple of days? It could slow everything down whilst your gut recovers from your changed diet.
 
I think that's an option June - I'm wondering if it's the increased fat in my diet that's doing it?
 
I think any major change in our diets can have adverse effects - if you know what I mean! I'm a firm believer of Imodium as it slows down the break neck speed that your intestines are going at and allows some time for everything to go back to normal speed. Bit like an F1 racer going on a country ramble. If that doesn't work, then as kateincornwall says, perhaps a visit to your dr is needed.
