I know a lot of women report that while they're on Met, if they eat a
fair amount of carbs, they get bad diarrhea or acid tummy, among other
things. I have ben on Met over a year now and I find that about the
first 2 hours I am awake, every morning, I feel just like that - kind of
"runny" and stomach acid-y. But then it goes away and I am great the
rest of the day! Maybe once your carb levels go down, that feeling will
stabilize as well. I hope so! Good luck with everything! :)
