[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 322696, member: 19121"] Hi Cosy, agree with all of the above apart from the Imodium which would just mask the problem and IMHO would not be the best answer. I was lucky with Metformin and only got stomach cramps and bad wind for a few months which did ease after a while and I found that taking them actually in the middle of a meal helped me, so a few mouthfuls of food, take the pill/s then carry on eating. But I do stress that I did not have your symptoms. Go and explain your position to your doctor and say that you just can not function like this, there are other medications available including Gliclzide and Sitagliptin to name just two that might suit you better as they work in a different way to Metformin and are not generally associated with the same sort of side effects. I'm sure a solution can be found to this so do go back and see your doctor and ask for alternatives to Metformin. [/QUOTE]
