My son got this when he ate bananas, turns out he's allergic to them!  He stopped eating them and hasn't had anymore issues.  Try removing one food at a time from your diet for about a week, if things don't improve...add that back in and remove another.  Keep doing this until you find the culprit!  Good luck, I sure hope this helps!
