bad gas and stool

It started around my monthly so I didn't worry about it. But now a month later it smells like a sewage drain and stool smells the same. I cant control the gas and stool is dark brown. At night I'll fart for about an hour then I get acid reflux then sick to my stomach. My doctors appointment is a month away. Gas x doesn't work. Help please

What is your diet like? Do you eat healthy? Are you in shape? On any meds? Take any antibiotics recently?

A couple weeks before I cut a lot of unhealthy foods out. Starting eating more fish and chicken. I've always ate veggies. Started exercising a little. No meds or antibiotics.

Stick to unseasoned meat, fresh fruits and vegetables for 1-2 days. (No prepackaged or multi seasoned products)  If you notice a difference add more single ingredient foods to diet.  If feeling better, save introduction of wheat products until last.
