New to Forum and on Metformin (Q re diet to reduce side effects)

Hello. I'm new to these forums. I just posted an intro message on the general PCOS forum board.

I started taking Metormin (Glucophage) on 5/11, and ramped up to 2 pills a day a week ago. I've had gas and diarrhea with the medication, and it seems worse at bed time.

Perhaps I'm still getting used to the medication, but I was wondering if anyone has correlated certain foods to their reactions. Are there foods I should avoid to reduce the GI problems?

Although I am not huge (141 lb or so), I'd be better off if I lost 15 lb. I've always gained weight easily and lost with difficulty, and it all goes to my belly. I find it intriguing that this is typical of PCOS women.

I'll be posting off & on. Thanks for the interesting messages.
