Metformin - Fountain of Youth or Muscle Destroyer?

[Giles]

I was prescribed this for two years when I was diagnosed diabetic back in 2013.

Imagine having the shits for TWO years straight. Yup.

Have you had a nutritional analysis lab done? A lot of times people are deficient in minerals and vitamins that lead to this. Ever do a veggie feast (yes, feast) cleanse?

I thought Metformin caused diarrhea because it inhibited amylase?

I haven't mate, no.

I highly recommend the nutritional analysis! I think perhaps bodybuilders get so locked into only a handful of foods that they become deficient. And maybe not going outside enough too.

Extended release prevents you from getting the shits. Still has the same benefits if I'm not mistaken.

If Im am going to have a meal or dinner abundant on junk food, maybe I will take a pill before eating. This can happen 3 or 4 times a year, I usually don't eat anything out of my diet.

Pretty sure you are correct but my metformin knowledge is lacking.

I only know this because I talked to Meadows about it at the gym one day. I was taking reg Metformin and shitting uncontrollably, I asked if ER gives the same results/benefits and he said absolutely.

Was prescribed those as well mate and they also did nothing to bring down my blood glucose levels either. Boooooo.

Gliclazide I used for two days, it made me feel terrible so I stopped taking those as well.

So metformine reduces testosterone levels if taken for extended periods of time..

My advice is for diabetics and non-diabetics. I'm talking root cause 'why do I have this condition' approach. You can still lessen effects from them by knowing your deficiencies.

I am a Nurse wrote a paper on Diabetes, You will stop getting the shits on Metform after regular use it is only a short side effect for some, on another note I would n't touch it unless I was a type two diabetic.

Giles just said he had the shits for TWO YEARS...Can you define a "SHORT SIDE EFFECT"?

Diarrhea is serious as you become dehydrated, lose macro and micro nutrients as well as probiotics... all of which makes a person who is diabetic all the worst off...

1 dose of 500mg metformin per day and I'm fine. 2 doses and it gives me the shits
