What could this be ? Sulphur burps/ stomach pain / nausea / vomiting

I've obviously seen the GP about this, but not much use really.

I started suffering from episodes of upper stomach pain, accompanied by nausea / vomiting and occasionally diarrhoea over the last couple of years.

It kind of started with a stomach bug I picked up on holiday. Or maybe it's not related. But that year I had a few episodes of just waking up in the night with upper stomach pain and either nausea and vomiting or diarrhoea.

The episodes last around 6 hours and then I feel ok.

I haven't had an episode for a couple of years now.

Then on Sunday I ate an egg ( was not off ) and started feeling indigestion and uncomfortable. It's never been linked to food before. Then sulphur burps started. Then the pain. It lasted all night. I vomited a few times and eventually it went.

Then yesterday I was careful what I ate as I still had a bit of nausea. So I just ate plain bread really. At the end of the day I ate a few tomatoes with olive oil too. That's when the burps started again.

I spent all night in pain again and this time I had diarrhoea but I also felt very sick. I didn't vomit though. Then again, after some hours, it's gone.

I'm scared to eat anything.

I called the GP who said irritable bowel syndrome ?

Can anyone else help me ? To me it sounds like gallbladder maybe?

Were you tested for giardiasis?

Quite commonly picked up on holiday. Where were you when you had the stomach bug?

I've also considered that! No never been tested.
