For 6 weeks during the summer, I was having constant stomach/digestive issues where I would feel almost like an internal fart going through my body, so much that it got louder and louder as the day progressed.  I would have some wet/sticky bowel movements that were always a mess.  I thought this was a dietary issue, tried no lactose, did not work, tried many other foods to cut out did not work.  Since beginning of September until two days ago, my bowel movements have been really good, decent in size, no digestive irritation or loud sounds.  Then two days ago, it started again.  Anyone have the cause of why these come and go for weeks at a time eating relatively the same meals weekly?

    Sounds like IBS.  Sometimes a particular food will not irritate you one day biut will cause trouble on another day.  You could try the Fodmap Diet to  identify food intolerances.  However, see your doctor for tests and an official diagnosis.

    Have you came under any stress lately? Or eaten anything you hadn't in the time things were normal?

    Seems to happen sporadically, more so in public places to be fairly honest....
