Nell replied to fran's discussion 'metformin er causing dirreah now'"My endo told me to take mine at the end of a meal when there is food in the stomach. If you are not on the extended release type, it seems to me you should be taking it every 12 hours instead of all at once.
I don't know how much food is…"
fran replied to fran's discussion 'metformin er causing dirreah now'"thanks for the information. had not even thought of the mfg. they do change sometimes. i will definitely check on that. seems to have helped to take both pills at bedtime last night. hope the 'feeling' stays good. it is nice to hear from…"
Jeannie Wagner replied to fran's discussion 'metformin er causing dirreah now'"I take the maximum amount of metformin- 2550 mg. I found for me it is better to not take it with meals.

Teena replied to fran's discussion 'metformin er causing dirreah now'"Fran, Diarrhea is a common side effect of Met I have also learned that using ER can reduce these side effects. ....but most also adjust after a certain time of use. I overcame mine after about 3 months of use. Had you consulted your doctor regarding…"

i have been taking Metformin ER for over 10 years. had a rough time for about a year with nausea and dirreah and then got better. now, I am taking 2 500mg tablets daily and really having problems with emergency trips to the bathroom. i was wondering if taking them together after night meal would help as most of the problems are in the afternoon because I do not eat a heavy breakfast--just cereal or biscuit. night is our meal with meat, and vegetables and carb. i am tired feeling so attached to…See More
