[QUOTE="danh1977, post: 2097756, member: 503879"] Hello A couple of years ago I had acute pancreatitis, which involved a week in intensive care and a couple of weeks in a high dependency unit. The cause was a gallstone blocking my bile duct, needless to say this was removed and a few months later I had my gall bladder removed. Unfortunately, I was advised that I had necrosis of the pancreas and that at some point down the line I would need to take insulin.... Some way down the line was approx. 6 months. I am currently take metformin SR 1000mg once a day and 2 insulin injections daily. At present I am experiencing really bad gas/flatulance which at times is uncontrollable, I work in a busy office environment and am finding it harder and harder to suppress, without the need to get up and leave the office every 5 minutes. Also social occasions are very problematic and at present I am not doing any. I have previously taken metformin in a smaller dosage but this didn’t help. If I stop taking the metformin could this stop the problem? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Danny [/QUOTE]
