Message: <blockquote data-quote="flossymartin" data-source="post: 1012446" data-attributes="member: 111244">I have been getting a lot of almost constant upper abdominal pain and I am already on Rabeprazole for possible gastritis.I started glucophage about 3 months ago and increased the dose over 4 weeks to my present dose of 2000mg.Could my much worsening stomach pain be related to the glucophage....I know metformin can cause diahorrea etc but could it worsen upper abdominal problems.I am seeing my GP on Monday and a surgeon friend thinks I need an endoscopy  and ultrasound.Anyone else experienced stomach ulcers etc on metformin/glucophageI am also eating low carb about 50g per day so my fat intake is raised too but cholesterol is good.</blockquote>
