Diabetes and Diarrhea
In both diabetes type 1 and type 2, diarrhea (loose bowel movements) may appear from several reasons:
1. Usual Causes of Diarrhea
There are several causes of acute (sudden) diarrhea, and chronic diarrhea that can affect anyone including diabetics.
2. Sugar-Free Foods
“Low-calorie foods” , “Diet soda”, “sugar-free” chewing gum or candies, or any sweetened food product may contain sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol, mannitol or other“polyols” (check labels!) that, if ingested in excess, may cause diarrhea, especially in a person with fructose malabsorption.
