Default What is wrong with his tummy?

Ok, here goes. Max's tummy is upset today. Its making loud gurgling noises, he has no appetite and its obvious he's not feeling well. His normally happy face is down and he's barely wagging his tail. I know this happens sometimes but now that I think about it, its happened every other week or so for the past 6 weeks. Once I thought it was because he went too long without eating. I gave him an unsalted cracker and he was better in a few hours. The other time, he ate some white rice and was better. He ate last night, but not today yet. He's been trying to eat grass.

I have him on a limited ingredient kibble (Natural Balance Lamb and brown rice). I know that these bouts can happen occasionally but can anyone think of a reason why it is happening so often? If it doesn't resolve quickly this time, I'll be taking him to the vet. In the event that we end up at the vet, should there be any tests that I should ask for?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
