This is new to me, Ive never had a blood sugar problem, but always a weight problem & Ive told the Drs plenty of times somethings not right, my diet isnt perfect but far from rubbish. Almost everything I cook is made fresh from scratch, low fat & low sugar.
The Dr was really supportive and started me on Metformin about 10 days ago, first 4 days were fine, I then made up some greek yoghurt, honey & passion fruit and about an hour later went down with horrific diarrhoea & ive felt sick & lethargic since.
My calorie intake went from about 2400 a day to 500, it took 4 days to eat a small roast and I thought, great, I'm on the mend. I forced myself to have weetabix with lacto free milk for breakfast the following day, having not been eating I wondered if it was this that was making me lethargic, within about 1/2 an hour I threw breakfast up, back to not eating & forcing myself to drink, just water with fresh lemon currently. Ive managed to eat a few slices of toast a day with a little pate & crabstix & started the last two nights with dinner, fresh tuna & rice, no sauces, lethargic in the morning but started to feel a bit better this afternoon & kept it all down & in Wonderful, were moving on...
Until...
Tonight, my daughter made a cheese & mushroom risotto, I had a small bowl & within 1/2 an hour it was through me and I'm back to full on diarrhoea. Sorry for the graphics.
I've never had a food intolerance, does the body adjust to Metformin & get over these side effects?
