hey there....started met last monday and wooo have i had the side effects....also noticed a massive decrease in appetite....my stomach turns at the thought of consuming a carb (potatoes now seem evil to me) and sweet stuff makes me naseous....I am ok wiht all of this since I used to really CRAVE these things. I know that people and dr's say that cravings are just cravings, but I believe that our bodies can crave what we need or what our bodies think they need (such as more sugars) as in the case wiht someone with PCOS/IR....

took some immodium saturday for the diarhhea as I was going to be ion the car for hours and ended up saturday night wiht severe stomach cramping.....actually about 6 inches above my belly button,,,,it hurt pretty bad but felt better when I would lay down....it continued all thru the night and partially on Sunday.....
still not sure what caused it but I skipped my Met on Sunday because of it.....things are better today.....maybe it was the peppery beef jerky I ate????? anyone else have this at all? also after i took the immodium at about 1pm saturday....I was not able to have a bowel movement again until today at like 9 pm....thats over 2 days......I dont know if I will take that stuff again.....

I am gonna try the yogurt thing....salad was bad for me as well.....
chinese food did not stay wiht me for very long either.....WHAT can we eat???LOL
