[QUOTE="mrmoley, post: 94357, member: 20261"] Hi. I was prescribed metformin and had symptoms of bloating and wind/diarrhea. I persevered with this for a while as I was not working. However I started working and had to stop taking them. I put on a bit of weight, but still had problems with bloating and diarrhea, although not as bad as before. I found out that I have IBS. I was then put on slow release metformin as I was told this was easier to tolerate. Unfortunately this didn't seem to make any difference in terms of side effects. I felt so ill some days I could not work, so I came off them. I didn't notice any metallic taste. I am now on a basal bolus regime. I take 64 units of Lantus at night and variable number of units of Novorapid after meals according to how much carbohydrate I've consumed. I don't want to go back on metformin but my weight yo-yo's. Does anyone know an alternative to metformin. Glicazide didn't work for me. [/QUOTE]
