Loss Of Appetite, Pain In Intestine, Runny Bowels. Taking Codeine Sulfate. Suggestions?

For the last couple of months my appetite has gone, and this morning I was woken up with sharp pains in my intestine followed by the urge to vomit. I had a lot of saliva but didn't vomit. During that I now have metallic taste in my mouth that will not go away. I have tried to eat but have no appetite and feel worse when swallowing the food. The medication I have been taking for a month is 200mg codeine sulfate two times a day for pain. I have researched if this would be a side effect, but not finding this as a side effect. My bowels for the last couple of days have been runny, and I have no urge to go today. About three to four times a week I will go.
