Do Dietary Changes Causes Constipation And Diarrhea?

I am a 400 lb 45-year-old white male. I have been trying to lose weight but it is difficult. I have chronic sleep apnea and also a badly deviated septum so I can t use a CPAP because it feels like I am being waterboarded. I have been having digestive issues lately. I am either constipated or having chronic diarrhea with ultra sour belches. Do you have any idea what i can do to change this. might it only be diet related?
