Welcome again Anne,
Tummy trouble as a side effect, usually nausea, may depend on what you were eating before vs. what you have been eating on LC. If it is a substantial difference, like much less sugar, more fat, your stomach might rebel a bit. And are you on any medications, like diabetes or IBS meds, that might react to a diet change? Could be many issues, check this great intro to LC for the Side Effects section which has ways to overcome them. Not everyone gets these side effects, but best to be prepared and know what to do if you do. Hang in there.

If you are eating more fiberous veggies and you had little before, that could be a reason for change in bowel movements. If you have had your gallbladder removed you CAN eat LC but a few people need to increase the fats slowly. Be sure you have enough water, salt and natural fats to keep things moving. I had a cup of salty boullion mid-morning and afternoon (cubes are fine) that help fluid balance in the bowels and reduce side effects.
In that same link above read about what some call the "Keto flu" or the Keto adaptation period. Your body is going through a huge transition from a sugar burner to a fat burner, so some experience a few days of not feeling great, but you soon will.
Best wishes for a happy and Healthy New Year to you
