General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello sir, Metform may cause Diarrhoea as an adverse effect; constipation is not seen.
Considering you are in your 50s, your bowel habits are not that healthy and I suggest you should see your physician regarding this.
And let's not jump to any conclusions. Get yourself evaluated rather than being fearful.
All the best.
