Help with Gassy Burping and Explosive Diarrhea

Working with gastroenterologist to determine what causes 1) noxious, gassy, prolonged burping and flatulence, followed within 2-3 hours by 2) explosive diarrhea with 10-15 episodes over next 12 hours until my system is purged. Then I feel fine until next occurrence. 1-2 weeks may go by between these bouts. No pain and no bleeding. Monitoring fodmap diet, BMs and sleep patterns. Suggestions please?

Hi Lunagurl, Thanks for your help! I saw a gastroenterologist earlier this month who had blood drawn and had me provide a stool sample in a dry container (then frozen) and another in a red liquid. Awaiting test results. I think you have nailed it with SIBO, which he did not mention by name. I have many of the symptoms as described in SIBO info. Thanks again!
