Can the diabetic drug Metformin suddenly start causing diarrhea after being on it for a year
I have been on Metformin for a year and for the past few weeks I've been having a lot of problems with having to run to the bathroom. I'm trying to figure out why I'm having this embarrassing problem!

I don't know how long it has been going on but sometimes you just get sick. Before you go and blame in on your medication or start thinking your dieing just breath. Make sure your getting lots of water. Don't think that just because your peeing out of your butt you don't need water. It is probably just a bug.

Hi,

You probably have a sickness totally unrelated to the diabetes. Most of the time diarrhea is caused by eating some undercooked or spoiled food, or something simple like that.

It can also be caused by the flue, or exposure to a cold.

If it continues more than a few days, it is better to contact a doctor, or you will get worse, not better.

Good Luck!
