Diarrhea And Foul Belching Posted: 08-10-05 20:44pm
About a month ago, I had a roughly 12-hour
spell of diarrhea accompanied by hours of
foul belching and general stomach
discomfort. The next day, though, I was
feeling much better and dismissed it as
something bad that I ate.
This past sunday the same exact thing
happened -- 12 hours of diarrhea and foul
belching.
With both episodes, the bowel movements
became increasingly painful.
A litlte background may help: during the
week, I don't eat much, and on the
weekends I tend to eat much more, both
good food and fatty desserts. I've eaten
this way for a few years. During the four
weeks between episodes, however, I ate in
my normal pattern -- not much during the
week and a lot on the weekend -- with no
ill effects.
Aside from this problem, i'm a healthy,
38-year-old male, 5'8", 145 pounds.
Thank you so much for any insight you may
have into my situation.
