Over the last couple of months this has become more of a problem,feeling bloated all the time

I was talking to another guy at work and he was having the same problem, he said this could be diabetic stomach

Does anyone have the same problems?

It's a very common side effect with Metformin. There is a slow release version that is apparently easier on the stomach than the standard type.
 
Hi there, I can concur that I suffered from significant flatulance when on metformin. Speak with your doctor or DN about and hopefully you can get change d knot another drug.

Hope things improve soon
