"Asparagus is notorious for making urine smell like sulfur after you eat it. Eating large amounts of onions or garlic can also cause this odor".
If you ate these foods a lot, stop them and drink well for a couple days. If the odor persists, you need to see a doctor for ruling out one condition called hypermethioninemia.
