rotten egg / sulfuric burps!

This discussion is related to Sulphuric/ Eggy burps and stomach cramps.


hello.  Ocationally I have rotten egg burps.  Especially a lot in the past couple of days!... at first I thought I might have a gluten allergy, but i can eat products with gluten in them, like bread, but ramen (oodles of noodles) and regular pasta I have problems with.  Then I thought it was meat but a garlicy hamburger (which was my testing meat product) resulted in my feeling better. So I started to think maybe garlic or onions were the factor that would prevent my tummy from rebelling and so far that has worked. The symptoms are basically evil burps and tummy pain, no diahrehha ever has come with it yet.  There were some articles that said it might be because of water that has been contaminated, where other sites support my gluten allergy theory.  I have no idea what the problem might be, but I have saw that there were thousands of people who had very similar problems and after a complete GI series nothing, CT scans nothing, numerous blood tests and nothing! this seems to be a mystery problem.  I myself have had elevated liver functions in a blood tests but everythign else I've been tested for has come back normal. any thoughts?

I have had this problem for a while and assumed it was something in my diet that made it happen. I get the sulfur burps and pain but not diarrhoea, and not usually vomiting. I saw a comment here that made me realise a possible cause, malic acid. It was lucky as I am 16 and live in England, where some American sweets are quite rare, one example being jolly ranchers, which i found in a shop recently and ate during the day before an occurrence of the burps and contain malic acid. I thought it was something else until I saw that post.  I will try cutting it out of my diet but it may just be a coincidence or a different reason.
