Well, Mike, what is she eating now?

If you abruptly transition a cat on her food, she'll suffer side effects.
Flatulence, diarreah, nausea on occasion. You can give it a few days (but
keep a close eye on her), or go back to what she was eating and transition
her to the new food. If you wait it out but it persists for too long
(say, a week), a visit to the vet is in order.

Anytime you change a cat's food you have to do it gradually or it can cause
them intestinal distress...could that be the problem?
