About a year ago I was prescribed two 500 gram Metformin daily, but like many others I suffered with dreadful upset stomachs, I was scared to leave the house it was as if I had no control over my bowels .....sorry if that's a bit graphic....My doctor changed my medication to the Metformin slow release again two 500 gram daily and everything settled down, after six months on the slow release with no issues, the bowel problems have started again , it is exactly the same, which leads me to believe it's the tablets...is it likely that I would have the same side effects after so long Thank you for reading
