[Diabetes-Talk] metformin and encopresis

[Jeanette Kutash]

If you are looking for solid under-wear, try purchasing Healthdri underwear.
They launder very well and actually do last many cycles. I believe they say
at least approximately 200 washes, and I have had some pairs for up to four
or five years. I like them for traveling. Ms. Martin is correct--there are
several generic brands of Metformen which are supposed to be better for your
stomach. Check with your doctor.

For some of us taking Metformin for long enough results in loss of good
bowel control.  That happened to me.  The blood sugar and A1c are and have
been under good control for the last few years though.  One thing I want to
warn anyone who ends up with this kind of loss is to find better pants than
Salk Sani-Pants!  Those work while wearing but are too poorly constructed to
survive many laundry cycles.  The waterproofing breaks and then the pants
have to be trashed.  I have heard about P.U.L. pants and will be shopping
for some this month since from what I've read are more durable for longer.
