Yes, it is best if you take Gastrocrom 30 minutes before a meal. This is possibly to reduce any food allergy or any inflammatory bowel symptoms you may experience.
Inflammation of the tongue and oral mucosa have been reported as side-effects of gastrocrom.
See https://www.drugs.com/sfx/gastrocrom-side-effects.html for a list of side-effects.
