Hello,
Bloating is a side effect of metformin..So take lots of buttermilk with meals as well as in between meals..Even if it persists,take Simcon,a charcoal coated tablet,after food.
For reduction of fat,go for regular exercise for atleast half an hour,avoid fatty foods like ghee,butter,cream,restrict oil intake to 1/2 lt per person per month.keep changing the oils like sunflower,groundnut,ricebran,oils,olive oil.Avoid palmolive oil,vanaspati oil,dalda,coconut oils.
In addition to these keep sugars under control as excess
sugar gets converted into fats.
Wish you a healthy living
