Gas and dizziness.

I get major gas and when it builds up too much, I get very dizzy.  I don't know why.  Anyone have any answers?

It could be that.  But I also think I may have a parasite but it doesn't explain the pain.  The only parasite that matches the other symptoms I'm having is pinworm.  I'm going to see a doctor this week.  

I've also got 'hairy tongue'.  I became a vegetarian about two months ago.  Maybe a lot of my problems are because I'm not doing it right to get all the nutrients I need.

hi again, basically you have a virus in your digestive system which cause infection and inflammation, also bacteria in your colon which thrives on sugars and the like release strong gases which in turn cause you to be bloated and dizzy, the foul smell is directly from this bad bacteria, you need to change your diet, eat fresh vegetables,plenty of fruit and water, drammatically cut down on your sugar intake, remember fruit has enough sugar to satisfy the human body, also cut down on your dairy for a week or two. if after this you are still feeling the same, then ask your gp for antibiotics to rid you of the infection, after you take the antibiotics, take probiotics to replace the good bacteria that the antibiotics has also killed.

Yeah, it does a lot of the time.  What exactly is a digestive viral infection?  Did I mention the pain I've been having in the right and left sides of my abdomen?
