hi,
i am taking Glucophage. i originally was on 500mg, twice a day. this gave me severe diarrhea. no matter what i ate, or didnt eat. she took me off of it for one day, and then only gave me 500mg, once a day. now, i am ok. i dont mind if i go after eating, but it was really bad on 2 a day. thats the only side effect that i had. they say, that this is common, and should go away. if my insulin levels doesnt drop on one pill, i am going to ask my doctor about avantia, or actos. i have heard that these are easier on the tummy. she told me that by taking this and lowering my insulin, my cycles should get more normal, and i should be able to lose weight!! i cant take iron, binds me up too much!! but if your tummy can handle it, i think its a good thing, to control diarrhea. someone did have a post that they were really bleeding for awhile, but after Low Carbing for awhile, it slowed down, so maybe this will help you too.
good luck!!
