HI!

Um... where to begin... I've had IBS for 21 years and though I haven't been recently for more gastro tests, I suspect they won't find anything wrong AGAIN.

My problems are complicated by having type 1 diabetes... where I am encouraged to eat whole wheat and lots of roughage which of course sets off my IBS. So I am left with the quandary which do I treat? My diabetes or my IBS?

I also have thyroid dysfunction but am on meds for that. Whew! I am going to try to stick to the guidelines here and see if it helps without setting my blood sugars into the stratosphere- but I was wondering if anyone else has been dealing with this combination of very frustrating conditions and had any tips, success stories, encouragement, warnings etc to share please?

I had a VERY bad attack last night and am still trying to recover from that- so I'm going to go read up on the info here and see if that helps me prevent another one today. *whimper*

Thanks in advance for any info, and though it sucks to have this condition I am VERY glad to meet others who can empathise and offer some proactive info!
