Can metformin cause chronic constipation?

That or that the DM2 has damaged the nerves that regulate the mobility of the intestine.I am desperate.Any of you are too?
Thank you

I don't think so.Metformin upside down, releases the belly according to what you eat.

I have constipation since I have diabetes.All my life I have been very loose without knowing why.Now not despite metformin.

Sen seeds are good laxative, they can be taken in infusion ...

About three years ago I have type 2 diabetes, for now controlled with diet and pills, and for more or less that same time I began to suffer from constipation more and more.I take a lot of fruit, water and fiber but it is still very difficult for me, I have already had to use Varying Micralax because I had been able to evacuate several days.I take a linen seeds in the morning and in the afternoon a shake with Psyllium, both have a lot of fiber and say that it helps a lot, but despite this it is a condition every two or three days.The doctor has told me that pastllas does not give constipation, before the contrary, so I cannot relate constipation to diabetes medication, except because they have coincided over time.Courage and do not despair.

I have tried everything but the plantago and I am convinced that the ground linen is the one that has worsened the evacuation.

It causes intestinal mismatches in some people.If you are causing you problems but notice it would be that you were the doctor and you will change your pill for another.
I told my mother -in

It is more frequent that you can give diarrhea as a side effect but there are people who produce constipation as well.
