Another users (me) feedback (as it were<g>):
I am currently up to 2 grams of Metformin daily.
(2x500mg, AM and PM.)
I have no problem taking it on an empty stomach btw.
(But I usually do eat something at or near the same time.)
ANYway, my problem only happens if I eat *too much* at a meal.
Doesn't really matter if it's mainly carbs, protein or fat.
Within 20 minutes to an hour, full on diarrhea :(
If I eat a reasonable meal / portion I don't get the problem.
