glucotrol XL nasty side effect...preop problem

Hi again...I posted the other day, but wanted to make a new post for people to see since it's *kind of* a different issue.

Anyway I'm on this glucotrol XL. I haven't really had too many side effects, but one really disgusting one and if anyone has tips on how to make it go away I will love you for life.

I have gotten some pretty bad gas from it...that's not even the bad part. The bad part is when I burp, which is now often, all I taste is rotten eggs. I was dry heaving yesterday and the day before from it. Please tell me someone else has had this problem with this med or a similar med and you know the cure. Or even tell me it will go away. I've been sick all day from the taste and smell...my burps smell worse than regular gas if you get my drift. TMI maybe? Anyway I can't take it...please help!

hi my name is susan and i have the same problem. mine started after i had my gallbladder taken out.The only thing that i find that works is eating a container of yogurt before i go to bed.
Hope this works for you.

hello ... i haven't had my surgery as yet, in fact, i had my first bariatric consultation with a doctor last week ... i didn't like his bedside manner, so i will continue my search for the right surgeon ... anyway, i am a type II diabetic and have been on Glucotrol XL for seven years, i have never suffered from the side effect that you describe ... are you certain it is related to the meds?  what does your doctor say about this?  they had me on Metformin before the Glucotrol XL, but it gave me diarrhea ... maybe they can switch your meds.
