i just started taking metformin for pcos and insulin resistence. i have started to discover some of the foods to avoid while on this medication since the combination sends my stomach into fits. can anyone forewarn me about other foods to avoid?
Answer:
Anything with alcohol in it that's for sure!
carbs ... One of ways that metformin works is by blocking absorption of sugar which draws water into the gut causing diarrhea plus gas due to fermentaion. Sometimes being changed to Metformin XR helps since the medication absorption is slowed. Sometimes this gets better unless you overeat sugar. Talk to your doctor, please.
