First you need to find out where it is coming from.
Inserting \tracingall (within a group {...} to limit the scope)
will produce lots of output in the .log  or Console window.

You should be able to search this to find where the extra comma
is inserted, then follow backwards the various macro-expansions
that caused this.

Once the source is located, you should be able to make a single
macro re-definition in your document preamble, to prevent 
the behaviour that you do not want.


This may seem a rather tedious way to tackle the problem, 
but it is reliable and very instructive for solving such
delicate problems, if you are interested in programming. 
— Not everyone's cup of tea, though.
