Question 1

i have a 7 week old baby who spits up a lot and his burls and farts smell like rotten eggs?

Accepted Answer

Needs followup: Need more information about feeding.  Is baby breastfed or bottlefed or a combination of the two?  Spit up may be due to overfeeding if baby is bottlefed. Also baby may spit up due to rapid bottle feeding and taking in excess air. Bowels and farts may have foul odor if formula fed.  Follow up with baby's doctor re feeding issues.

Question 2

i stay away from eggs, leafy greens, milk + any else that can cause rotten egg/methane smelling gas. yet my gas smells like rotten egg/methane. why?

Accepted Answer

Bacteria: in your intestinal tract break down food and produce methane and hydrogen sulfide causing the odor. Improve the health of your gut bacteria by eating probiotic foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchee, or aged cheeses. You can also take probiotic supplements. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

That's normal.: Flatulence contains methane, a gas which has a rotten-egg or sulfur odor. This may be more common or noticeable if you consume a lot of meat. You probably pass gas during the day as well as at night, but you're more likely to smell them during the night when you aren't walking around.

Question 10

can sulfites found in wines cause gas to smell like eggs?

Possible: Play detective as different people metabolize and process certain foods and drink differently.  Alcohol such as beers are definitively known to cause some people to have foul sulfur like (rotten eggs) smelling flatulence.  Wine may be your nemesis.  After a while you will know your trigger foods and can avoid them.
