Perhaps he was tormented by flatulence as this author suggests:

I suppose it would take a sick man to do what he did.
Also, on Hitler's diet---I wouldn't have expected him to be a vegetarian, but apparently there is discussion of this question in some circles:

"Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), troubled by chronic, uncontrollable farting, took charcoal pills and even nonlethal amounts of strychnine and belladonna in attempts to control the gas." (p. 77)
You'd like the book, I assure you.
