It is likely the metformin that is causing your stomach issues, a common problem when people start on metformin or when they increase the dose. It can settle down and taking with a substantial but low carb meal will help.
Have a look at this link for some meal ideas and recipes for a low carb approach. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com/
The Caldesi cook books are good and Pinch of Nom or any low carb recipes on the internet.
