For past 2 months, i am having bowel problem, I had visited india and had fallen sick due to diarrhea. Took medicine with consultation from a local pharmacy and after a day got little better. After coming back to UAE I am having all the time gas in my stomach and I keep on farting. This is very unusual as I had never this problem except occasionally. Now it is very bad and ever 5-10 minutes I release gas, sometimes it is without any odour and sometimes with odour. This has become a problem for me. I also go to the loo most of the time and clear my stomach. Please advise me is there any underlying problem in my stomach. Shall I need to visit the doctor on a urgent basis.
