Metformin forms a matrix when disolved in the gut, and that is soft white globs that also appear in the stools at the other end. The matrix absorbs glucose from the stomach and gut as it progresses to the exit, thus reducing the amount of glucose that gets into the blood. it is probably this that you are witnessing.
Is that right? I haven’t actually physically been sick for over 10 years, I normally swallow it back down. These were all the same size, colour and perfectly round.
I do think you need to see a doctor as there could be a blockage somewhere. Best to be on the safe side.
I’m on sr metformin and have been for a long time. I’ve never had any issues with metformin.
Yes they were definitely spherical and soft as I had to push them down the sink. I can’t see how they were a tablet, they weren’t even the same colour as the metformin.
Yes it was a shock to me when I saw mine. 4 perfect spheres and alot of grain shaped smaller ones. They seemed so alien to me.
See the Doc asap. Especially if you have any signs of jaundice, or have pain in the upper right of the abdomen, usually just behind the bottom rib. it is rare, but gallstones can appear in vomit.
Thanks, I have tried the drs today but they only bookable phone appt is on the 18th March I can’t wait that long to know. They said to ring in the morning I might be able to speak to a dr then. I thought gallstones were hard?
