Food Regulation/pain

Redwood Falls, MN

My diabetes is sort of control but I have a lot of pain on my left side and that's due to the balancing off constipation versus diarrhea. Can anyone recommend what I could do to rectify the situation I see therapist again on Tuesday and then the following Tuesday after that I see The doctor again
