Hello my friend. Geez, it sounds horrible to have to watch certain food for diabetes and other ones for your ulcer. I\'m glad you are getting the ulcer taken care of too, though - you already know that they can be very dangerous if left untreated! did they say what they thought might be causing the ulcer to flare up and start bleeding again at this time? Stress? Hang in there - I\'m sending you positive thoughts and healing energy. Gentle hugs, Trish

It\'s good that you have a dietian to figure that out, I hope they come up with a good plan that helps get everything under control so you can feel better soon.

I am sorry you having to go through all of this. It must be horrible. I sure hope you meds start working soon. Maybe they will come up with some good foods for you to eat. Or, at least, we can hope for that...lol. Well, I hope you get to feeling better really soon. I miss seeing that green face!!!!
Love, April
I am hoping and praying u feel better soon,and good luck with the new diet,which is something i have never been able to stick with too long.I am on a sea food diet,i see food and i eat it.i keep trying but someday i will get there ,but u will be way ahead of me,i guarantee it, much respect(THANKS SOLDIER)love ya lot\'s
I think you would be ok with dairy products like cottage cheese cheese yogurt and custuds pudding.. It would be good to start out with these things I think until the ulcer starts going back into remission..It is a hell of a mess.. any bland food would do.. i was thinking of rice but that is a high carb and not good foor the diabetes.. I will thin k more and read about it Love D
Sorry to hear whats going on Viet hope that you start healing soon love kalei
Sounds to me like you are doing the right thing and taking an active role in solving this horrible problem. Keep doing what you are doing and working with the dietician and things will start getting better. You probably won\'t even know just how bad you have been feeling until you start on this new diet and start feeling better.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope the medicine kicks in quickly and that you get better real soon.
If you take insulin for you diabetes, that can probably be adjusted to compensate for your ulcer diet. Hang in there and try to keep positive thoughts.
I know it must seem overwhelming at the moment, but once you get into a routine, it will become easier.
Please keep taking care of yourself, and let your doc\'s know if there are any other symptoms, even if you don\'t think they are related to the ulcer problem.
I\'m out here thinking of you and hoping this all gets better fast.
