cannot say in your particular case and there are a lot of possibilites. mostly it is dietary and gets better in a few days. also it is quite common for people to have bowel motility that is influenced by emotion (irritable bowel syndrome) and this goes away fast also. There can be bowel infection with various parasites such as giardia. There can also be problems in absorbing food, especially various starches and sugars. If they aren't absorbed they are digested by bacteria in the gut and produces flatulence and bloating. tyring various diets for a few days at a time can be helpful.
