Anonymous Question Is my flatulence to do with diabetes?

Having been diagnosed with T2 diabetes in late 2012, I too suffered adversely from cramps and flatulence, and some very "close calls" in getting to a toilet in time before the flatulence ejected the faeces from me with explosive force. This had a marked impact on my social life until I was told a solution that worked for me.Simply go to your local chemist and ask for a container of charcoal tablets. two of these when I feel bloated , totally disippates any discomfort. Hope this helps a lot more sufferers.
 
I've had shocking wind for the 12 months I've been on Metformin! Mentioned it to a nurse, she laughed and said it was something that happens with Metformin!
 
Having regularly been afflicted with the same, after using Metformin, I found a solution in Charcoal tablets from my local pharmacy, (sold in 100 tabs.) This relieved the bloated feeling , and the risk of accidental explosive release. Hope it finds some relief for you also.
