Welcome to the forum @Hellsbells

Sorry to hear about your T2 diabetes and UC

What foods do you need to help with your UC, and what approach are you taking food-wise to help with your T2?

Have you been offered any medication to help manage your BG? Steroids can play havoc with BG

 

[Hellsbells]

When in a flare I only eat white low resistance food pasta as rice white bread Diabetes recommends low carb high fibre diet it’s the prednisone that has caused the diabetes.

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

How about veggies? And protein? How does fat affect your UC?

Would cauli ‘rice’ or mash provide a more BG friendly base for your meals than pasta or rice?

Do you know that the ONLY type of food all people with diabetes have trouble with, is carbohydrate? or is that what you mean about dietary advice conflicting?

Is highly processed 100% carb 'stodge' the recommended food to promote a healthy gut then?

I don’t know... I think it’s very difficult having to balance two quite different conditions with very different ‘needs’

I know there was a point during Jane’s pancreatic cancer where she was told to ‘eat everything beige... all the things you aren’t supposed to eat...’ because they were so much easier to digest, and easier on the gut. But that was accompanied by all sorts of other potions to offset the complications of low fibre etc etc.

I think in the past when we had people with Diabetes and Inflammatory bowel conditions, it is more complicated. I also remember that some posters seem to have found little help from Dietcians too.
