Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goonergal" data-source="post: 2418299" data-attributes="member: 368709">Do you get any other gastric effects aside from diarrhoea? If it is as intermittent as every few weeks, I’m wondering whether it is food related? Not a low carb diet problem per se, but a reaction to certain foods/drinks? Perhaps noting down what you eat for a while would help to eliminate that possibility?For my own part, I’ve never taken metformin, so can’t comment but find that any bowel issues - either constipation or diarrhoea can usually be tracked to what I have/haven’t consumed. The former is easily resolved by drinking more water, with a bit of salt added. The latter can usually be attributed to over consumption of things like cream/very high cocoa percentage chocolate.It’s all trial and error and I hope you find a solution.</blockquote>
