May be food intolerances, gluten ,soy ,milk are the big ones. -eliminate soy for 10 days , then milk products for 10 days then gluten products for 10 days and see if there is a difference. Also consider H pylori infection can check stool or breath, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency or irritable bowel syndrome. Follow up with gastroenterology.
