A member asked:
After getting a rotten egg taste in my mouth, a few hours later i am sick with flu like systoms, nause, vomiting and diarrhea, what is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intestinal bugs: There are intestinal sulphate-reducing bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide, and this is the likely source of the rotten-eggs taste you complain about. Some evidence suggests sulfer-rich diets (dairy, eggs, dried fruits, certain vegetables) increase growth of these organisms. Hope that helps.
