Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS and diabetes, this is important

Huh?

No, I'm just kidding. Seriously though, the scientific terms are a bit over my head. I am only going by what my endocrinologist/gastroenterologist (he is an expert in the study of both fields)has drilled into my head. There is still so much about it that I don't understand as there is a lot to it. Like I said, I only know what my doctor has told me and what all of my families doctors have told them. I know that there is a thread on this board and also a section on this website (i think it is under the most frequently asked questions part of the site) that talks about it.

I don't know who is right ot=r wrong. You sound much more knowledgable about it than I do. ALl I can do is go by the suggestions tht my doctor has, well, ordered and take the approriate medications. My way of thinking is that I would rather be safe than sorry and the low glycemic carbs are working for me - they are keeping me stable and keeping my blood sugar down. If I cheat and have too many carbs or high gycemic ones, my blood sugars go way up. I guess everyone is different though and you have to find whatever works for you and your body.

Most days, I wish I could just have a full body tranplant. I mean, to get hit with IBS AND Diabetes. Geez!!

Thanks for all of the input though. Actually, I'll bring it up to my doc next time I see him. Maybe there is something I am missing. He is really not that good at explaining these types of things in layman's terms and I might be missing something.
