Why is this happening?

[skydigger]

4 times in the last year I've had this same problem...

1. diarrhea
2. violent vomiting (once or twice)
3. very frequent FOUL tasting & smelling burps.

This starts off slowly with my stool getting smaller, followed by the odd foul tasting burp.
Diarrhea then starts and lasts for a few days.  I'll vomit once or twice and the festering foul burps can continue
for a week or so.

I get the feeling that there is a blockage in my GI tract.  Could this be possible?
My pharmacist tells me I have an intestinal flu, but 4 times in a year???
Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

Thanks

You don't mention your age. If over 30 or have any history of cancer in your family get a colonoscopy just to have everything checked out inside your intestines.

If this is occuring with change of seasons, along with change in foods , it's normal. Most people eat differently in Spring,Winter,Summer, and Fall and the bidy has to make adjustments.

Also changes in job schedules may change the regularity of eating a balanced diet, the frequency between meals, and how much water we consume. Any of therse factors will upset the intestinal tract.
The foul burps may be caused by that septic tank we call a stomach not emptying fast enough after foods start to break down, If you can't eat regularly, at least consume water frequently throughout the day .

thanks.

I'm a 40 year old male.  No cancer in my family.

I think it might be a combination of over-eating and not drinking enough water.  I do semi-regularly add extra fibre to my diet, but I suppose I should do that on a more regular basis.

hi, i think you should try parasite eradicating herbel tablets, or parasite cleansing medication from your local chemist, parasites in the digestive system are a known cause of chronic infections, which might be your problem. good luck.
