can anyone tell me if weetabix can give you to much fibre as the last two after taking metformin I’ve gone to the loo fine then followed by a bit of diarrhoea
Weetabix are 69% carbohydrate.
Taking metformin with carbs has been observed to cause gastric upsets (although metformin can do this on its own)
Weetabix will probably spike your blood sugar too.
Maybe ditch the Weetabix and try bacon and eggs instead?
Edit to add the "benefits" of fibre may have been overrated too.

In my opinion eggs are the perfect breakfast. With bacon. Or more eggs.
Does weetabix cause diarrhoea
