PCOS-MEDICATION Messages for April, 2002: Re: Metformin & Diarrhea HELP!

Keri,

I don't know that this has any bearing on the diarrhea situation or not, but I am on Glucophage 850 mg twice a day and I seem to get really bad diarrhea if I have eaten too many carbs! I have learned to keep a supply of anti diarrheal medicine on hand as this always seems to hit me just after I get to work and this is not a good place to be running to the potty every 5 minutes if you'll pardon the pun.

Like I said I'm not sure if this has any thing to do with the diarrhea problem, I kinda blow it off that my medicine doesn't like what I've eaten. I know it's hard to deal with, but I would keep taking your meds. I'm sure that the met isn't working like it's supposed to if you're not taking it as prescribed.

Hope I've been a bit of help to you, email me if you like and we can be of support to each other through these crappy times! LOL just another bad joke to keep our spirits up.
