Welcome to the board...hope you can find some anwers here. I myself know very little about a special diet, etc. for diabetics. All I know is diet must play a very important part in IBS as well in persons who do NOT have diabetes...but I don't know if there is really a clear cut pattern as to what to eat for those persons either. It would be difficult to answer for anyone whether diabetic or not.

Does your insurance company or HMO offer diabetes nutrition classes or counseling? That would seem your best bet with the complication of gastroparesis.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but welcome to the BB. There should be someone who knows.

I have one question, and one suggestion. Are you IBS-D (diarrhea predominant), or IBS-C (constipation predominant). Knowing your type will help you explore dietary solutions. There's a great book with a title something like "Your First Year with IBS". You can find it on the book list contained on this website. I found that book very helpful, even though I've only just now read it after 10 years with IBS. Having a good GI doctor is also really important . . . one that will talk with you at length about your symptoms, and will help you systematically explore different treatment options. Good luck!
