Hi,
Welcome to the HCM.
It could be gastrointestinal infection actualy.So drinking lots of water and eating light food would help.Also get a stool test done to rule out any infection.
Since inspite of stopping metformi you are still through the same symptoms so it could
less likely because of metformin.
