Barb, if you know German
"Metformin Nebenwirkungen: Gastrointestinale Beschwerden
Sehr häufig: Übelkeit, Erbrechen, Diarrhö, Bauchschmerzen, Appetitverlust (5–15%).
Diese Symptome treten meist zu Beginn der Therapie auf und gehen in der Regel spontan zurück."
The product circular of any metformin says that there are very often GI side effects:
Nausea, Vomit, Diarrhea, abdominal pain, and lost of appetite (5-15%). In general the above SE are mostly at the beg. of the therapy and get better overtime.
If you needed metformin this means that your GLU levels were not OK. Which means that you might have started to have carbhydrates intake again? This then can also causes the dumping effect after GBP. So all together with the metformin it might explain the issues you face.
Definitely talk to your physician.
By the way ,the metformin is a great antidiabetic because in addition to its great effect on the GLU, you do not gain weight.
Let us know and take care
