What should I do?

This problem has been bothering me for a while but it has gotten progressively worse. It seems that when I eat (certain types of food seem more likely to trigger it) I frequently get a very upset stomach and indegestion but that is followed by horrible sulfuric or 'rotten egg' smelling stomach gas. I will chronically belch this gas for a few hours and then it subsides. This is followed by large amounts of foul smelling flatulence, and usually loose stool. I have no idea what to do as I do not have insurance. I realize that I need to see a doctor but I would like to know some ideas so that I have some starting point. Thanks so much.

It sounds like lactose intolerance or some other food allergy. Do you get these symptoms after eating or drinking dairy products? What kinds of food cause these symptoms?
