Yep. I used to be able to eat wheat as well. Now I have to have wheat in
very limited portions, but potatoes have not been a problem. The only other
thing I can think of is some sort of delayed thing from exercise. I didn't
exercise at all yesterday but prior to that I was doing some killer workouts
with my weights and even took a walk the day before. Probably a short walk
by normal people's standards but given my disability, a long walk for me.

And now I can't remember if I mentioned this before or not, but I did just
refill my Metformin. Perhaps this batch is somehow stronger or something?


Julie, it's also possible that your metabolism is changing; mine certainly has, from month to month or year to year.

About the metformin, if you look on the rx label, the manufacturer is usually listed. You can call your pharmacy to ask if it's a different one than your last batch, and see if the change is consistent.
