why am i suddenly getting stinky burps and diarrhea every week?

Question

why am i suddenly getting stinky burps and diarrhea every week?

it started last week when i was having these really strange burps. they tasted like rotten eggs and i couldnt stop. it made me a little nauseous to taste them but other than that i felt fine. every time i burped friends would say "okay who farted?" . it was humiliating. my boyfriend smelled my breath and said i was fine so it must have come from my stomach. i brushed my teeth like four times that day.

as the night went on the burps were tasting, and smelling, a lot nastier. and then i went to bed and in the middle of the night i woke up with stomach cramps so i went to the bathroom. and when i got there i was stuck there for the next hour.

i didnt worry about it too much. i thought it was just something i ate. but it just happened again only when i woke up to use the bathroom this time the cramps were much more severe and i was breaking a sweat.

ive read some forums about the issue and no one really seems to know what it is or why it started. people with the exact same problem were going to their doctors with it, who have delt with the issue for years and their doctors had no idea and said they were fine.

i personally dont want to do this every week. im going to try a couple different methods. cutting out dairy and then starting a high fiber diet. its honestly embarrassing.

i just feel like there should be a more sound explanation. so i can know how to take care of myself. any ideas? how did this start? what can i do to stop it?

See a Gastroenterologist and have a hydrogen breath test. I have an allergy to fructose and have the same symptoms. After experiencing illness for several years I finally had this test. Once I received the results and removed the fructose from my diet, the symptoms disappeared.

if you do not know what is the cause (whether some food eaten), how about 24 hour fasting? 
and drinking enough liquids, not too cold, the room temperature still water, and lukewarm weak camomile tea. 
if you feel heaviness in your stomach, try beer. only one! this always helps me with indigestion from heavy food. 

regarding to diarrhea - have you tried husk? fybogel or some similar. 

but i still think that you should see the doctor if the 24 hour fasting does not help. you can have some bacterial infection in your intestines or even something worse.

Same thing happened to me. You need to get better sleep. Its just that your just getting lack of sleep. So like get in ur jammies. go to sleep tonight or whenever .and turn off all the lights and tv and just go to sleep then when u wake up have something healthy for breakfast! trust me this works!!! The same thing happend to me a couple times in the past. HOPE I HELPED,GOOD LUCK!!!:]
