Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jenny15" data-source="post: 1810970" data-attributes="member: 196992">My gallstones were seen on ultrasound. I've seen a gastroenterologist for years about my various GI issues. I suggest a referral. I've been on Metformin for 9 years. 7 months ago we increased it from 1000mg to 1500mg. I developed chronic diarrhoea but didn't think of Metformin because I was convinced that I was OK on it. In fact, I was only OK in 1000mg. I am now much more wary of this med, after having these symptoms for 6 months before a different doctor twigged. Even a few days or weeks of this kind of pain would have me camped outside the doors of my doctors until they found the cause (and treated the pain). Repeating the same kind of test - ultrasound - is less helpful than trying other kinds of tests.</blockquote>
