Hi Susan,have been on Metformin 1000SR for over 2 years and have suffered the unpleasant side effects for the whole of this time until I was prescribed Codiene for a Rotor Cuff injury.Hey presto-no diarrhoea.Me thinks GPs need to assess people on Metformin more closely as this problem ( diarrhoea)is a common thread.I did also try Imodium for a while,and it worked,but would not recommend anyone else tries this.So my concern is that once the Codiene (and Rotor cuff injury)is sorted out the dreaded stomach problems will re-appear.Outcome is that sufferers need to badger their GPs into finding a solution for this common and unpleasant side effects of Metformin.
