[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 554930, member: 48386"] Have you had your iron levels tested? I had problems with stomach pain and lots of upper GI distress while on metformin SR 1x500mg. Turns out the metformin was causing stomach bleeding and that's why my ferritin was so low. I never had the kind of diarrhea you're suffering from though had very similar pain symptoms. The bleeding was too high to show up any other way than via endoscope and that wouldn't have happened if my iron hadn't been tested. So get your iron (and B12 because metformin interferes with absorption) tested. Did you try the other version of metformin first? I sometimes wonder if the extended release version wasn't the cause of my issue because maybe it hangs around longer in the system? I was put on the SR version because of my existing GI issues. Looking back that was probably the main clue that I shouldn't have taken it at all. [/QUOTE]
