Question from North Carolina, USA:

I have a 11 year old son. He has Type 1 diabetes, diagnosed about 3 years ago. I was wondering if there was something we could do about him having so much gas and what do about his breath. Is diabetes the cause of it?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

You might ask your son’s doctor about the potential for celiac disease. It is associated with diabetes. Also, common problems like parasites can’t be ignored.
