Best Answer

Yes, diarrhea and stomach pain are some of the side effects when you first start metformin, or if you eat a high-fat meal or snack while taking metformin. Starting with a low dose and increasing gradually, taking care to not overdo fatty foods, and (according to some) using the controlled release version of metformin can help reduce these side effects. In addition, stopping and starting metformin often will cause you to go through the initial period of side effects just as often, so be faithful in taking it as prescribed.

What would cause gas diarrhea and right shoulder pain?

There are many causes of gas and diarrhea, but the right shoulder pain is most likely "referred pain" due to the stomach distress. The phrenic nerve is involved...
