Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 >I know you have to get kinda used to Metformin to avoid stomach problems. I took Metformin/Glucophage for 3 years with occasional stomach upset. Then one day it just hit me and I cannot tolerate it at all. I use my leftover ones as laxatives. If I get constipated it will send me to the bathroom within a few hours. If I continue to take it I would have to stay in the bathroom. Not kidding and not good. >The biggest effect is a low carb diet and supplements. I have found that just eating smaller portions and exercise works best for me. I tried low-carb and that also made my BS go up. The problem is it's hard for me to eat small portions. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
