May be it is not metformin - increase in fresh fruits and veggies maybe?

Hi Bluejeanz. My side effects from Metformin ended after 2-3 wks of initially taking it. I started getting bad side effect again later. I blamed it on the Metformin, but then, i finally realized at my dr's suggestion that it was because I started taking vitamins and they are very harsh on the tummy. My point is to try and see if you are doing anything different lately (different eating patterns, new medication/vitamin intake, etc.) I will be honest with you...the heat from the summer alone always gives me horrible stomach issues. I hope this helped!

thanks for the suggestions,somehow I have a feeling it is diet related,(isn't it always lol
but recently have been eating more eggs,and I was in agony like you wouldn't beleive...!
Soguess its time I had a fresh look at my eating patterns,again thanks.

prolly best not to put all ur eggs in one basket
God Bless

You might consider allergy testing. Food allergies reliably give me a stomachache, and addign metformin to that is like, yikes!

metformin is popular in australia and Ive been taking it for many years with no problems or pain
dare I mention it but you must eat a meal before taking it as otherwise a severe stomach ache will result.

dont take it on an empty stomach
