What is your dietary intake like? The metformin can reduce the amount of sugar that is absorbed by your GI tract, some of it can make its way to your large intestine, causing your stool issues. Try switching over to small amounts of complex carbohydrates when taking your metformin that should help. OR ask your doctor about the extended release version-much easier on the stomach!
