The Runs on Met? - Try No Milk

I am on Met again and told my doctor I had terrible diarrhea when I was on it before. I was taking Met with a glass of milk because of the "metallic taste". Guess what - milk (or other dairy products) make the Met gastro symptoms worse! I have stopped taking it with milk and I am much better off (minimal side effects even at 1500mg)!!

Also, I started slowly this time adding only 1/2 pill at a time until no side effects. This works much better.

Eating cooked oatmeal when taking the Met seems to lessen the diarrhea, also. The fiber soaks up the extra fluid (I guess) and keeps things running fine.

Thought I would pass this along to those of you that are suffering as I was and I am not having to take the Imodium all the time, now - hooray!
