Hi, and forgive me if this has been asked before.
I started on metformin today and, within a matter of a few hours, felt like death.
After about 5 hours I felt fine..but now bloated again after eating dinner ( only on 1 x 500mg a day)
I took the tablet whilst eating a full time of tuna in a tortilla wrap at lunch, so I hope that this helped to protect me from the worst of it...or will it hit me in a few days?
BUT... I'm meant to take it at breakfast, so....what would anyone suggest as a suitable breakfast foodstuff that is man enough to protect me from an upset tummy?
I have read that people have decided to take their metformin in the mid afternoon, so that the stomach is a bit fuller... Does this actual help?
