Question 1

i've been burpin small burps and fartin small farts tht taste & smell like rotten eggs & if i burp they can smell it, it stinks the whole room up?

Accepted Answer

Sulfur: rotten egg smell is usually from sulfur found in garlic, onions, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts and the yellow of the egg. Try to minimize these foods in your diet if the sulfur smell is an issue. good luck

Question 2

i keep burping up egg smell and have gas as well.  have not ate eggs lately.  any idea?

Accepted Answer

Sulfur Gases: The terrible smell of sulfur burps is caused by hydrogen sulfide (h2s). The gas is known to originate from certain foods that contain sulfur proteins in them. During the process of digestion these proteins are broken down in the gastro-intestinal tract by sulfur-reducing microbes. Try altering your diet, and if persists, then seek medical evaluation as some infections can also cause it to happen.

Question 3

my 10 year old son doesn't eat large amounts of food and we follow a reflux diet. we can't seem to shake the rotten egg breath, no burps, no gas.

Accepted Answer

Halitosis: Halitosis (bad breath) is not usually from reflux. There are several other causes for halitosis. Start with your pediatrician. And dentist. A visit with the ENT may be needed as well.

Question 4

i drank some lactose free milk that was expired by 3 weeks, now i am burping rotting egg smell, and foul smelling gas with diarrhea and stomach cramp.

Accepted Answer

Gastritis: This should resolve itself fairly quickly.  If it persists go and see a doctor.  And yes, it is quite possible that you are reacting to spoilage in the milk, but not having it to test make this speculative.

Accepted Answer

Heartburn: You may be suffering from Heartburn/ acid reflux. Medications like Zantac, (ranitidine) Prilosec and Prevacid are available over the counter. They need to be taken daily. Try taking your prenatal vitamin after eating food too. Sometimes pregnant women burp up the vitamin taste.

Question 6

2 months late for periods,did have stretch egg white mucus few day ago.after that 2-3 days ago had firm low cervix and now it is soft midhigh and open. little low back pain and lot of gas burping out.my periods haven't shown up yet. am i pregnant??

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. An Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Could be Giardia: You need a stool tesst for giardia, a parasitic infection of the duodenum.

Question 8

if im burping the taste of boiled egg. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Burping: You are burping sulfur burps. They can be neutralized by pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate)

Question 9

why do my farts smell like rotten eggs and at night time?

Accepted Answer

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

does anyone have a cure for burps that smell like rotten eggs?

Accepted Answer

Burp smelly: If the burping is not too frequent compared to other people, then it may not be a case of gastric reflux, which needs treatment. The odor of the burp is never an issue. What a person brings up into the mouth never taste good neither does it smell good, simply=what is below should stay below!
