Foods or infection?: Intestinal or rectal symptoms can be due to some inflammation or infection. It can occur from diarrhea, giardia infections, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, gall bladder problems, etc... Lactose intolerance causes gas. Excess fruits or sugarfree sweeteners like maltitol or sorbitol also make gas. A primary care doctor can evaluate, and refer to a G.I. Specialist if needed.
