So I have been using Metformin here and there and have come to the conclusion my body just does not like it. My stomach looks like I am pregnant after I eat a fairly small meal now. Started taking a probiotic 2 times a day and digestive enzymes with each meal in hopes to help get my stomach to calm down.

Completely stopped the met and have no clue if it screwed up my good bacteria or what. My shit is runny and water like and has been for a week now. I feel like the probiotics and enzymes are helping as they calm my stomach after a meal.

Any one have ideas on what went wrong or supps that may help

Damm man had the same issue, couldnt figure out what it was either. Didnt even think of the metformin, now ill pull it out. My stomach had beeb bloated/ distended as well but have not had any digestive issues. Even on around 150 grams of carbs stomach seem distended/ bloated
 
Those are some of the side effects associated with metformin use. Very low fat diet and keep using probiotic and digestive enzymes.
IF you are using metformin to lower insuline resistance you should consider alpha lipoic acid
 
Yes it looks like I have “growth gut”
In the morning it looks ok and some what normal.
Was thinking of switching to Berberine as I heard that is actually really good for the stomach.

Going to do an all day fast and try and get stomach bacteria back to normal
 
Metformin should be taken daily. Not here and there. I had the same issues because of that. I started taking it every night before bed and the problem went away. 1000 after my second to last meal and 1000 right before bed.

Then again metformin might not agree with everyone.

Add in a 24hr fast to help digestion and to give your body a break.
Then change over to Berberine and see if that makes a difference.
 
Berberine is helping a ton! Going to continue taking the probiotic and digestive enzymes as well
 
Also I am thinking this issue is from the Trenbolone in my cycles. Going to stop the Tren for a while and see if that makes a huge difference. Have read Tren kills good gut bacteria and several people have had stomach issues with Tren.
 
Morning, afternoon and night.

Thank you

If that's the case that explains what happened to me last cycle. Stomach was distended even when eating next to nothing.. wonder if that has to do with t3 being low while on tren as well..

Either way, thanks for posting this!
 
Stomach issue got better then worse I am at the urgent care now getting CAT scan and blood work. Thinking it could be bacterial.

Will let you know
 
Update:
So my blood work came back perfect no issues with liver or kidneys and no bacterial infection and I am not allergic to gluten. This is very strange she put me on a proton-pump inhibitor lansoprazole. Hope this helps as I seriously walk around with a Ronnie Coleman growth Gut!!

I was taking a PPI for my eosinophilic esophagitis and it ended up giving me terrible cramps in bed during the night. So bad that I had my wife take me to the ER.

It seems to be a rare side effect, but keep it in mind.
 
I will watch for any sides. When in the hospital she was pressing on my stomach and could tell I was Distended. I am hoping it just goes away!

Maldorf - how long will before I know if this PPI is helping my gut? The box said 1-4 days and the doc said a week??

Well, I took the drug for a different reason. Apparently I was having some acid reflux that caused the damage in my esophagus. Im not sure how it helps your stomach distension. Did the doctor explain anything?

Well she ruled out everything else like bacterial and liver and kidneys. She said she thinks it’s Gastritis and these PPI’s help.

I’m thinking if it’s not better in a week or two I need to see a specialist
 
When do you guys take berberine and how much?

As far away from training as possible.
I WO in the morning so I'll take it later in the day.
And similar dosages as metformin, 500-1g work well.
 
Update: my stomach is still fucked up pretty good and seeing a specialist this week. From my research it’s something to do with my Gallbladder. It may need to be removed. All symptoms point to this.

Hang in there. Things will get better. Just remember too, things could always be worse. I try to think like that when I am in the hospital, look for the upside.
