HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Glucophage is known to cause gastrointestinal side effects but in most persons, the effects decrease after the body gets use to the medication.

If this is not the case for you, then you can consider the alternative, glucophage xr. This is long acting glucophage. Because it is released slowly into the body, it is associated with less gastrointestinal effects.

Glucophage can help with weight loss, it reduces the body's resistance to insulin, helps women with PCOS and has been found helpful with some tumors.

If you wish to try a diet, then you may want to use the glucophage xr if you cannot tolerate the plain glucophage.

I hope this helps
