Hi all
I have been on Metformin for nearly six years 500g twice a day, I have never had any stomach problems related to it even in the beginning, but for the past two weeks I have had stomach cramps and bouts of runny tummy to the point where I have to run like the wind to get to the loo. I do have diverticulitis but this isn't the same as the symptoms I have with a flare up.
Nothing has changed in my diet but I have had a bit if stress in the last couple of months losing my mum and my mum in law within a few weeks of each other and a broken ankle
Is it possible to develop problems after so long being fine? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/advice
