[QUOTE="FSnow, post: 1985564, member: 500292"] Hi Brunneria Had Vitamin B12 Checked all ok Gut issues related to weight loss of around 10 kilos 95 to 83 , iso bruffin for a tendon injury followed a bug in Italy in 2014. Resulted in very upset tummy. Fixed only with Fodmaps elimination of problem foods and slow reintroduction of diet. Would not wish it on anyone. Still not quite there 5 years later, but don't think it is related to Metformin. My understanding and personal experience is that low GI foods are dangerous as you can think that if you are say 6.5 after 2 hours you can have a desert or a snack. If you test you may find yourself having a nasty spike of 9 or so four to five hours after the meal. I'm early days 2003 - 2005 I found that rice in small portions would be under 8 after 2 hours but stay up for hours after - which meant you could not eat anything else or you would have nasty spike. Sour dough seems to have the same behavoir. I can eat a slice or 2 and look good after 2 hours but no good after 4 or 5, depending on the particular bread. I did get some slightly elevated hba1c before I realsed that paradise was indeed lost and I should not touch it. My metformin question is related to the studies showing the benefits of metformin versus going medication free. The doctor has consistently advised continuing with the low dose of 500mg. It seems many on the forum see going of medication completely is of benefit. [/QUOTE]
