Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Welcome to HCM. I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

The problems of indigestion, gastritis and loose motion can be a side effect of two of the medications you are on: Metformin and Voglibose - the contents of Glycomet Trio. If you are this medication for the first time the symptoms can be well due to this medicine.

Consult with your doctor and try for alternatives for this drug.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
