Brief Answer:
sounds like allergy
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for the question.
Diarrhea and gas can come from many things such as infection or bad food, but the itching all over is a sign that you are having an allergic reaction to something. With the combination of gas, diarrhea and itching, it is very likely that you are eating something that you have become allergic to. It may be something that you have eaten all along that now you have developed an intolerance to.
First I would ask you to look at anything new you have recently introduced into your diet and if there is something then eliminate it. If not then you will have to try eliminating some of the more common foods that cause allergies and see if you can get rid of your symptoms.
The most common foods to cause allergies are:
peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish.
There are others of course but I would start by eliminating these.
If you cannot manage to get rid of all of these at once, pick a few and eliminate them and see what happens.
If you do not get any relief you may need to see an allergist.
Taking an antihistamine may help with your itching.
I hope you get some relief soon,
