Red face Very Strange!

I just started Met and twice yesterday and once today I had a carrot-like structure in my stool. It's got the consistency of a kidney bean, but bigger and it looks nothing like anything I've eaten! Has anyone had this before? Should I be concerned?

Are you taking the extended release Met? I noticed that sometimes the shell of the pill would pass in my stool.

I read that with the extended release Met that you will pass something like you are describing. It is kind of like a "ghost" pill. It doesn't contain the medicine, and it is nothing to worry about! HTH!!!

Haha a "ghost" pill. Yes, it's the ER pill. It does have the shape of the pill in a way.

Yep, it's the shell of the pill. I guess it's plastic (or something???) and doesn't digest or break down. Kinda freaky huh?

Hmm...that's weird. The pill I take is like a tab though. It's white.

Yep, I'm guessing that's what it is. The first time I saw them, I thought it was a bean, but I couldn't remember eating a bean that big, lol. It's kind of strange, but nothing to worry about

Yep, that's it. It's that coating on the tab that makes it extended release that gets passed.
