Stomach issues

kmbrooks15

I just started Metformin Wednesday; I'm only at 500 mg and am supposed to bump to 1000 mg this Wednesday. I also dramatically changed my diet the same day I started the Metformin. The good news is that I've dropped 6.5 pounds (I know that will slow down, but it's a great motivator to start out). The bad news is that I sometimes feel my stomach start to gurgle and have to make a MAD DASH to the bathroom. Just wondering if anybody else had this issue and did it pass as your body adjusted? Am I reacting to the drastic change in diet, the medication, or both?
