What Causes Diarrhea With Bad Odoured Belching?
I am having a difference in bowel habits. Diarreah and with really foul tasting belching. I know I have a hiatal hernia but have no particular pain. I have taken antacids for years but this is something different. Eating any kind of salad causes more discomfort. This doesn t occur in the mornings but in the afternoon. Can this be caused by the hernia or another problem

Hi,
It can be due to gastroenteritis.
As a first line management, you can empirically start on antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin or Tinidazole.
Avoid spicy foods and bowel smoothing agents like carminative mixture can also be tried.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
