Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your concern and following is my opinion:

1. curry leaves [kadi patta] is a well known kitchen spice used in variety of cuisines and yes some people may experience stomach upset,diarrhea,nausea or dizziness with its use. [may be due to allergy to curry [stomach hypersensitivity] or reaction to the bitter taste of the leaves]

2. XXXXXXX [tulsi] is an ideal alternate to curry leaves [easily available] other are bay leaves/kaffir lime
