Metformin Tummy Troubles

Hi,

I've been on 2000mg of Met (1000mg am then pm) and also 1.2 of Victoza for the last 3 years.

I've always tolerated it well but recently I've started having problems. Two hours after taking the Met I get tummy pain and in general I have really bad gas with horrible 'eggy' burps! I have recently lost a fair amount of weight and my control has become tighter. I will get in touch with my doctor but I wonder if anyone has had similar problems? As an interim, I read that having some Yoghurt when you take the Met can help. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like the usual after effects of taking metformin, it might be worth asking for the slow release version. I been on metformin for 13 years and still suffer from the windy problem.
