Sulfur Belches

Recently I have suffered from some kind of illness. I've had severe diarrhea, nausea, and have repeated belched what tastes like sulfur.

Can anyone tell me what this illness is and how it can be cured/treated?

Thanks,

Nick

You can try herbal products that kill parasites, but you don't know what kind of condition your insides are in. You really need that determined by a good doctor.  Call the Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab and ask them for a list of good doctor's in your area.  This might not be covered by your insurance.  My insurance didn't cover it and I am paying for it because I had a year of hell trying to get my daughter diagnosed by a pediatrician that isn't worth the paper his medical license was printed on and a gastroenterologist who was supposed to be great.   Well a year and two months later my daughter has been diagnosed.  I can't stress enought for you to make sure you're doctor isn't the sick one.

Hi, it sounds to me like Giardia. That will cause those symtoms you describe. Giardia is a protozoan infection that you get from drinking contaminated water. Also passed on by close contact with someone who has it. It can be taken care of by a drug. Hope this helps.
