If this is still happening, then the head gasket is likely blown.

Pull the plugs and shine a light down the cylinder... If the piston top is clean and shiney in some spots, your burning coolant...

This does sound like a headgasket issue with bubbles coming out from the radiator. You could do a compression test.

First off see if the fan is coming on, either at idle and sit and watch the gauge slightly past 1/2 up should start to come on.

There is a test for gases in the coolant, either get it or have a shop test to see if the head gasket is shot.

Are you saying it is overflowing out of the rad? or just a constant flow of bubbles?

Get a test kit, chances are it is the head gasket.

Did you pull your plugs and check them and the cylinder/piston? If a plug looks brand new compared to the others, and that piston/cylinder also looks nice and shiney you have a coolant leak in that cylinder...

No visible leaks, I am willing to bet headgasket then.
