Hi,
I have been taking Metformin for four or five weeks now and have had no bad reactions. I take 1000mg with breakfast and 500mg with dinner. My BS is coming down very well and I had my first "within normal" reading today, two hours after breakfast.
However this afternoon, I have had quite bad diarrhoea, for the first time for as long as I can remember.
I have the same breakfast every day of rolled oats, a little portion of low GI fruit, some nuts, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon powder, mixed with milk and kefir (fermented milk). Today my wife put in more milk and kefir than normal.
Does anyone know if milk or kefir can react with metformin? I cannot think of anything else that could cause such a reaction.
Cheers
