[QUOTE="stupot1000, post: 154872, member: 29470"] Hi I'm new to the forum and wondering if there is anyone out there who, like me, is struggling to take metformin SR and at the same time suffering from very active Irritable Bowel Syndrome. For me it just doesnt work. I try to be in full time work and control my type 2 at the same time and I have been trying different medication via my gp since the begining of the year. My present dose is 1 x 500mg met SR + 1 x 100mg Sitagliptin daily which didn't quite give the bs reading required. My gp asked me to increase the dose to 2 x met but that is when the IBS rebelled to a be very aggressive with an unacceptable amount of pain and other side effects so he has now asked me to reduce back to 1 met to try and ease the pain from the IBS, complicated isn't it? Anybody any tips please? S [/QUOTE]
