I read your post about the stomach pain after starting Metformin. I also took Metformin for several weeks and had the same side effect. I have heard that an extended-release formula of Metformin can help with that pain. As I never tried it, I can't say for certain, but it might be a good question to ask your doctor.

@hopeful33250 I had to change to extended release metformin due to nausea (triggered by food smells) It was a welcome change!
