When I started on Metformin one of the bad effects was very loose bowels - now, I am absolutely normal.

If you have any Metformin side effects which are affecting your bowels, then exercise could well help.

I am having a lot of gastroinstestinal issues...especially that one you mentioned. Actually, I have been experiencing that for awhile now even before I started my metformin.

I'm definitely going to start walking. I have a little japanese chin who has lots of energy and I'm sure she'd be willing to join me.
