Which specific brand of metformin are you taking (like, what's the actual manufacturer's name)?

The exact one I'm taking is metformin Sandoz 500 mg. Honestly, I never used to deal with my stomach acting up like this until I started the metformin. Sometimes it gets so intense it actually drives me crazy. Lately, that constant churning and cramping has been hitting me hardest during the night, and then I'll still feel it right when I wake up in the morning.

So, I’ve been on metformin for about two months now, taking 500 mg three times a day. At the very start, I was dealing with some pretty bad diarrhea, but that seems to have settled down. However, my gut still feels super restless—like it's constantly churning or bubbling up—especially at night when I'm trying to settle in for sleep. Do you think that could be one of the side effects from the metformin?
