Didn’t they take a brand of Metformin off the market because it contained carcinogenic particles? My sister-in-law has been on it for years, and she’s always suffered from stomach cramps and diarrhea with it. It’s one of the known side-effects. I was on it briefly many years ago, and had the same problem But hey, if it can help you with prostate cancer, you can forget about the long list of side effects, right?

Yeah, I believe it’s known for those side-effects.

Metformin seems to work for my genetic lineage. But the dosage has been minimal. The dietary approach is best if possible.

There was one brand of metformin that was removed from the market a number of years ago. The issue resolved with a few months.
