Metformin cause gas?: Metformin, a commonly used diabetes medication, causes gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, gas, diarrhea, bloating) in 20-30% of people. Most people find that these symptoms decrease over time, but some cannot tolerate these side effects, even after several weeks. In such situations, patients should ask their physicians about other types of diabetes medications to try.
