Rotten Egg Burps

[CaptainAllen]

I thought I was going to die with those rotten egg burps.  They [burps] smelled so bad that others could smell them across the room.  My family physican perscribed a drug called CREON 5.  I take two [2] capules with each meal and I have not had them since. They aresome sort of an enxyme that aids in the digestion process.    Trust me it was the miracle I had been looking for.  I had the same sympotms as the rest of you....rotten egg burps, tremdous amount of gas, runny stools that often had an oil sheen on the toilet water.  Good Luck !!!

it's horrible isn't it ?  i have had the same thing going on three days but it more of a "taste" then a smell. i have heard that drinking baking soda with cold water will help & then you will feel brand new, i just drink alkaseltzer.  but it seems to not help very much. so i'm going to try the baking soda today, hope this help. Best of luck !    -maddyrose.

i had the same issue back in high school for 3 to 5 days a week for 6 months. It was ruining my life! In a way im so happy to find out im not the only one with this problem. I have not had the symptoms for years now until just today when it came back all of a sudden at work. Some people tell me stress can cause it, others say might be Giardia. I wish i could find a straight answer and a solution for this problem to stop it forever. I will try the CREON 5 your doctor perscribed.

OK. Had them the last two days. Read and read and read about what it could be. Saw two post of people who said to take Pepto Bismol. Most of the research I saw said that the most likely cause was Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) which is the bacteria responsible for most ulcers and many cases of stomach inflammation (chronic gastritis). Well low and behold, the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol actually kills this germ.

So I went out at 4 am and bought the MAX strength which is 525mg per tsp of the active ingredient Bismuth Subsalicyate. I took a dose and a half and it took about an hour for it to fully kick in, but it actually worked! I had one bowel movement and the gas burps slowly but surely dissipated. NOTE* As soon as I took the medicine, the burp taste changed from eggs to more neutral. Also do not let children take this drug.
