I'm having problems with my stomach. What could it be?

For the last few years, I've had horrible problems with my stomach and they've gotten way worse recently.  I've gone to doctors and they treat me for IBS and it worked at first, but now it's not working at all.  I constantly have gas coming out of both ends.  As soon as I release one bubble, another comes.  The gas, lately, including burps, smells like sulphur.  My stomach is always rumbling and making noise.  I feel a "fluttering" in my upper stomach all the time.  I'm constantly bloated, I get diarrhea a lot, and lately my stools are a real light brown (almost yellow) color.  Anyone have any idea what is wrong with me?  I'm quite miserable and still can't get into a doctor for another 2 weeks.  Help!

could be so many things, but definitely have the Dr. run some tests on you as soon as possible.
For the next couple of week, I'm not sure what to suggest, except perhaps some Immodium for the diarrhea, Make sure that you keep yourself well hydrated, avoid any gassy foods, like cabbage, beans and even stop red meat completely, until you've seen the Dr.
Take lagoya's advice, if it is celiac, stay away from anything with gluten, and if it might be lactose, stay away from dairy. Try keeping a Journal until you see the Dr. so you have some info to give him. And please, let us know how it goes.
hugs & prayers
