I have been type 2 for 6 or 7 years. I was put on Metformin 1x 500 and appeared to tolerate that although I have suffered with relatively minor tummy probs for over 40 years.
I was switched to Sukkarto SR a couple of years ago .
In Feb of this year I was asked to take 2 x500 due to a rise in HBA1C. I now realise that coinciding with this doubling of dose that I started getting very windy in the mornings.
I am on 8 or 9 medications for various things and just tend to swallow them all in the morning as that seems easiest!
About 3 months ago I decided to split my dose of Sukkarto to one in the morning and one in the evening as I read a thread on here suggesting that helps reduce DP.
For the last 10 weeks I have had constant wind and an irritable tummy each day. Appetite, weight, toilet routine spot on.
Could the doubling of dose earlier in the year and more recently splitting the dose, morning and evenings, be the culprit?
So I have decided to stop taking Sukkarto completely and my question is, if Sukkarto is to blame how quickly would that become apparent?
