Worried I have IBS or something worse

Posted , 2 users are following.

let me just start by saying i never had stomach problems before. i am a 35 year old male who has been anxious his whole life. Well this year i was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. i started taking metformin. I quit taking it about 25 days ago because of GI issues. Two days after quitting i had my last bout of diarhhea. Only problem is it wouldnt stop. I kept going for about twelve hours i must have went about 15 times and at the end it was only a small amount of clear liquid absolutely clear like water. Sorry if TMI. well for about a week later i lost my appetite and kept burping fast forward to now three weeks later my stomach is still in knots and i am constipated i think my bowel movements are different and they are long and skinny. I havent had diarhea since that day. My dr started the test. i took an ultrasound Friday. It feels like my stomach cannot digest anything right now. i never had any nausea but i feel bloated and burp constantly and my stomach feels nervous. any advice would be greatly appreciated as to what this might be.
