Hello I am recently diagnosed type 2 prescribed 3 x 500mg metformin tablets and am experiencing possible side effects from medication.
I am at present experiencing an excess of wind and I am belching constantly with quite foul smelling breath (rotten eggs/ sour milk) and also I have excessive flatulence.
This is the third time since commencing taking 3 tablets a day that these symptoms have occurred,I started with one tablet per day for the first week then 2 on the second week which led on to a couple of days with sickness and diarrhoea ,then after consulting with my Doctor went onto 3 tablets after meals per day.The sickness and diarrhoea have not returned but the bloated uncomfortable wind has intermittently.
I would be grateful for any help and advice .
