It is suggestive of gluconorm-sr induced side effect. The most common side effects of gluconorm-sr are nausea, diarrhea, change of taste, abdominal cramps, and loss of appetite. These side effects can be minimized by taking gluconorm-sr with a meal and to be careful with dietary changes and supplements.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
