What Could Rumbling And Gurgling Stomach, Clear Diarrhea With Pale Green Stuff Indicate?

Hi; This started yesterday. I have little to no Nausea (Was able to eat a big meal without a problem) but my stomach is rumbling and gurgling like boiling water. (It sounds like that sometimes, too) and I can feel the air gurgling and vibrating all throughout my system. It is so loud that people across the room have heard it and it has freaked my cats out while they are sitting on my lap. (Which, admittedly, is hilarious, when the cat jumps and stares at my stomach like it's gonna eat her)
This is accompanied by really watery, clear diarrhea which seems to have... crumbs? I guess? of really pale green stuff. Sometimes it's in small chunks - as if the stuff is passing through my system and not being digested at all.
Every time I move I have to shit again, and it's really getting old. I took Pepto, which has helped a bit but it's just slowed it down, not stopped it entirely.
The occasional nausea passes pretty quickly; especially if I lay still.
I should note that I am sleeping a lot the last two days; feeling pretty much constantly tired.
Some things about me:
I am Female. I am a bit overweight. (Around 220lbs, I think?)
I am 24.
I have had some problems with gallstones.
I have no food allergies that I know of, but I am very allergic to artificial fragrances. (Skin allergies)

Hi. Gall stones do cause gaseous problems. The green loose stools make me think of a possibility of an intestinal infection. A good course of antibiotic as prescribed your Doctor will solve this problem. What i am worried about is your history of gallstones. Are these small multiple or or a large single one as seen on an ultrasonography. a large single stone can sometimes connect he gall bladder with the intestine and still causing the problem you have, although this is a very remote possibility and need to be investigated by the Specialist. ( this is to give an idea and not to frighten)
