Metformin Pain...please help

Allison

My doctor thinks I have PCOS, and has started me on Metformin. I've been on it for 2 weeks now, only taking 500 mg with dinner.

Y'all, it is killing me. I am having the worst cramps and diarrhea every day. Does anyone have advice for helping deal with the Metformin GI issues? I'm supposed to start taking a morning and evening dose tomorrow to get to my full 1,000mg dosage.
