Metformin Side Effects
 

I was justed switch to Metformin ER due to the horrible side effect of diarrhea. Well I've been on it now only a couple of days but there's no change. Are any of you on any pill form that does not give you this side effect?

I have been taking Metmorfing (wich is dispensed frre at Publix) and the DR. warnedme about the D issue. He told me not to take it on an empty stomach, so I eat something light for BF and take it 5 minutes after: D is gone. He lately suggested that if I do early lunch at work I could take it right after, but to ensure at least 6 hours between the next pm pill. Never on an empty stomach or .......

I take one pepto pill (not chewable) every morning nd the crampng and D are gone as long as I take them

worth a shot, since it works for me

My doctor put me on glumetza. The co pay is 100 bucks. But it doesn't upset my stomach like metformin. It does have metformin in it though.

I took metformin for several years. Diarrhea problem just got worse and worse. Started taking a probiotic, which helped a little, but still had problems. Doctor moved me from metformin to victoza a week ago. No diarrhea problem anymore. Hope victoza works....costs me a lot more.
