Brief Answer:
Malabsorption.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It seems that you have developed an episode of gastroenteritis. It could be due to malabsorption and that could lead to both gas and diarrhea. You need to take plenty of ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the lost water and salts. Try and avoid wheat related products and milk products for a couple of weeks and see if it helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
