I had't come across metformin as a solution before.Do you know why you were rescribed it in this form rather than the usual pills?
Metformin can definitely cause "tummy Grumblies". How easy is it to get the dose right?
Were you advised when to take it? With meals seems to cause the least trouble and most people adapt to it after a while.

May be worth trying to take it *with* the meal, and avoiding carbs at the same time. If that doesn't work try reducing the dose, then bringing it back up more slowly. The effect tends to wear off over time.

Peeing a lot and hot flushes could mean your blood sugar levels are up.Do you test you blood to see what the levels are?
