Default problems with met

I am about to start taking Met for the first time and I was reading about how everyone gets upset stomachs and diaherra. Can you take over the counter medication to counter act that ? Like an anti diaherral ?

I found that Immodium AD (Chewable) was very helpful. I didn't need to wait to get something to swallow the pills with, just chewed them up! Some women also find that upping their fiber helps as well. I know most people think of fiber as a stool softner but what it does is absorb the excess moisture in the bowels and that helps reduce the diarrhea. Hope this helps.
