This is amazing i thought i was they only one with this problem. when i was real young I would tell my mother my burps taste like rotten eggs, she would say you have a dirty stomach then later cramps ans throwing up. I now 60 and i still do not know what causes it.  But when I eat out which is not much I will get this. was told a very long time ago, that even a little bug or sneezy or anything like that can trigger it. I ate at my mother-in -law rehab center last night, and guess woke up with same eggy burp and every thing with it.  So I have come to the conclusion when you eat out know matter how nice or how much the food cost, you have know idea what goes on in the kitchen or just how clean the employess are. So I eat out some but not much anymore. Maybe this will help it is not what you eat but where you eat. have a Bless Day and good luck

My problems with this started last year, I had no idea why. Over last xmas it became really bad. I wondered if it was to do with my digestive system, so started taking pro biotic capsules and eating pro biotic yoghurt for breakfast.

So far so good, I know its not been long, but at Xmas it was 3 days out of 5. Since I started with pro biotics, my whole system seems better.  I used to burp a lot anyway (normal ones not eggy) and those have gone away. I am far less windy altogether, which can only be good !!

Hi All
I have had such a tellible time with the Eggy Burp Syndrome that I'm just getting really fed up with it. I've had the symptoms for 6 years and up until now it was just the Eggy Burps and feeling a little sick. This would last a day then I would be fine. I did have the runs on and off too but not at the same time as the Burps. Well I started getting the Burps again about 2 weeks again and have had then every day since with the odd one or two days off. I'm getting really worried.
But After reading all you comment and endless trips to the dr and hospita over the 6 yearsl I have been told its IBS. Nice!! But I really cant get it under control again and its driving me mad x

I have had the same exact thing very serious sulfur burps to the point that I would have to back away from the burp because it was that sickening!!! Diarrhea and vomiting followed as well. Seemed as though once I puked and crapped my guts out the egg burps would subside for a little bit. I went to see a gastroenterologist and has a colonoscopy done. Not Fun! I was 20 when they did that. Found out to be gastroparesis. I became vegitarian and eat not meats what so ever. Since then, I am now 36, I have never had the sulfur toxic  burps again!!! It makes complete sense if you have gastroparesis and you eat meat that takes sometimes a week to exit your system with a normal GI system. Then take someone with gastroparesis well it could take double that time for meat to exit. So I get my protein through tofu, cottage cheese, chobani greek yogurt, protein bars,silk soy milk etc. well I just wanted to share incase you are still having this awful issue.I hope my post helped a little anyway. Best of luck to you :)

I've started burping eggs this AM .... something I do about 2-3 times a month.  Left unattended, it will evolve into nauseousness, then vomiting and diarrhea.  Like everyone else in here, I have been to doctors and have taken various test to try and determine what is causing this, but to no avail.

About 6 months ago, my wife suggested that I take some of her carbohydrate blockers (with white bean extract) ... that she had taken them when she had an upset stomach and that her symptoms had gone away.  So, I took 3 capsules the very next time I began burping rotten eggs and my symptoms never went any further than just burping.  I thought it might be a fluke, so I did the same thing the next time I began burping eggs and got the same results.  Even when I haven't been able to catch it t the very beginning due to being away from the home and not having the carb blockers with me, by taking them when I finally do make it back to the house, I minimize the symptoms and shorten the period of time that I have the issues. Give it a spin ...

I am a very young person. I have't even reached my adult age yet, and also have this problem. I get this problem ONLY when I eat food and it does it awkwardly for me. I noticed some of you noticed that it is usually in what you eat. I am having this terrible epidemic as my fingers type. I think I have actually discovered the easiest way to say this. Not even dependant on your weight or age you can get this still. I think it is just that certain people like us are more sensative to the ingredients and nutrients in food. Now I'll cut to the chase.
Here are some things you want to watch:

1) The foods you eat! Some tomato products (paste or sauce) may cause this effect to trigger, I had some Red Baron pizza a long time ago and it triggered it, andto ths day I can't eat Red Baron.
1a) Spicy foods can trigger this. I had chilli which includes bth spiciness AND tomato product and I ended up getting burp flu for 2 days.
  1b) Rich foods are not only unhealthy, but can trigger this also. I celebrated my nepews birthday, his cake was delicious, however my stomach thought otherwise and it punished me with the burp flu AGAIN for 2 days.
2) Watch your weight. Weight can cause certain things to activate in the body, I myself need to lose about 10-20 this is the state for most people, if you are past the weight of your age and and are above 20 lbs over, I reccomend a diet and regular exercise.
3) This is a  big big big problem, you don't even need to be sensitive to food for ths to happen.
DO NOT
GO TO SLEEP
AFTER EATING!!!
If you go to sleep after eating, your stomach is sort of blocked from letting food digest, you end up getting either pain when you are trying to get rid of the waste, OR you end up throwing up or get the burp flu. This one has gotten me millions of times and ruined my almost good nights sleep.

That is all i've really picked up on this stupid epidemic, but there are a lot more comments on this and it would probably narrow the culprit.
If anyone goes through this please post a comment, it helps a lot.

(P.S. Does anyone ever end up throwing up from the burps? And (this is probably a gross thing to ask of you) can you look at your vomit? Does it have the same appearance of the culprit food? If so then this is something to look at since i have this also. (when it first happened i thought i finally threw up a lung!)

Same thing here. Thank you to everyone for sharing...thank you for understanding how awful this is and how it is dreaded and feels as if it will ruin your life. Here's a few things I have recently figured out for myself:

possible culprits: dairy, wheat, eating before bed, possible food allergy

another symptom I haven't heard anyone else mention: I usually wake up with a strong urge to urinate and seem to have excess urine and frequency during the bouts.

what I found works very well for me: as soon as I have the urinary frequency or any other beginning symptom I take a benadryl. Usually within an hour the nausea, stomach pain and burps have subsided partially or completely.

so, this would make me believe it is some sort of allergy that causes severe irritation in the GI tract, which reults in slowed or stopped motility and presents as gastroparesis...allergic reaction can run their course within hours to a few days.  

during my last bout, I broke out in a horrible burning itching rash, starting with my feet and palms. which lead me to try the benadryl.

give it a try and let me know your results.

again, thank you for sharing.

I was so excited when I read your post, but as I researched carb-blockers, it showed that the major side effects were upset stomach, gas and diahrrea (from taking carb-blockers).  So now I'm a little stumped as to why these worked for you?  Didn't you get any of these adverse effects from the carb-blockers themselves?  I'm so desperate for a solution, but I don't want to feel worse.  I'm scared...

i had this symptoms for a while I'm having it now as i type they go away after a couple of days. for me anyway. i have these attacks maybe once  or twice a year sometimes i just get the egg burps with the frequent trips to the bathroom. today how ever i have the symptoms with the vomiting which i never had before. the farting is the worse combine with the burps it is embarrassing if you in a crowded elevator or subway car and you have to fart or burp is the most horrible stench. I'm making an appointment to see my doctor today i know all this will go away in a few days i just want to know where those horrible gases are coming from.i just tried to vomit but nothing came up. I'm also having that crampy stomach feeling which  i
i never had before. my god i feel for those of you that have these attacks on a regular basis.

I am just coming to the end of another bout of this horrible gastro fart smelling burp disease. its been two days of the worst diahrea ever , its now yellow colour,  this time  i had with fever, incredible nausea but no vomiting, ( i refuse to vomit) but probably should and the disgusting burps that make me wanna puke. I have had this many times before but now that im on heart medication pills its very frequently happening.
I have to shut down for two days and not eat take immodium etc. I dont want to go to doctors because they never have answers. I am glad to hear other people have this. I feel that is bacterial related but antibiotics you should only take in life threatening situations. I also find that alcohol or specifically wine gives me gastro pain on right side of stomach. Anyway can someone just come up with a cure already its really disgusting.

I am only 23 but unfortunatley i have had this problem since i was probably 10 or 11 years old!  take Prevacid..they sell it over the counter at walmart or walgreens or just about anywhere.  when i 1st started having these problems, prevacid was not sold over the counter, and is what was prescribed to me by my doctor..Prevacid and Acipehx are the only meds that have ever helped me.   tums are ok, but it doesn't last long.  with prevacid as long as u take it once a day, it will prevent u from having these problems.  its like $25 for a box of 42 pills! its well worth it.   but you might try a smaller box to see if it is going to work 1st!  unfortunatley i dont think the problem ever really goes away, but it is treatable, or it has been for me at least.  I hope this helps some of you!! I have suffered from this problem almost my whole life, and i know how hard it is.

To everyone.  i am a 38 year old male who has been suffering like many of you.  About 5 years ago this started and I would honestly prefer death opposed to going through this. (just while im going through it)  It starts with an incredibly full feeling and then the burps starts.  Only way i can describe it is roadkill coming up from my stomach.  The smell alone starts the vomiting, and when I do vomit, I can see food ive eatn over the last two days, without hardly any change.  The worst stomach cramps and diaherra (diarrhea) come right with.  It happens tome every 4 or 5 weeks.  my Dr. is stumped.  He has tried all the meds ive seen mentioned here but to no avail.  Common sense tells me for some reason my stomach isnt emptying out like it should and the food actually starts to to rot in my body.  I guess just never eating a big meal again and eating a tiny bit a few more times a day is the answer?  My heart goes out to all of you.  I suffer with gegenerative joints and deal with pain on a dailybasis, but nothing comes even close tothe agony of this problem.  I honestly wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.  God Bless-Sick in NY

I too had all the symptoms above!  The one medication that changed my life is Domperidone.  I suggest talking to your doc about it because with it, I can live life normally for the first time in years.  I don't have any problems anymore!  All I can say is, do your research and talk to your doc and I do hope it helps.

My god, it makes me feel so relieved that I am not the only one experiencing these symptoms!! I'm 14years old and I experience this about once a month, but sometimes as frequently as every 3 days, and it lasts the entire day! Horrible smelling burps, stomach aches, headaches, vomiting, it's all just so horrible! I ask my mother at least once every two weeks to see a doctor just once about it but she always dismisses it as just me whining about being sick. It's so frustrating, but it gives me some self satisfaction knowing that others are experiencing the same problem. Hopefully doctors will find out the cause of this thing soon. I'd hate to have this thing for the rest of my life!

Hi My name is Dave Schultz. I have had a similar issue as you. I have to agree that it is probably the most discusting thing that I have ever had to go through. our symtoms (symptoms) seem to be the same . I have done a bit a reasearch and have found a few helpfull items along the way.

My situation started around 9 years ago. , I had no explaination and I blamed any food that I have eaten the day before as the reason why I was getting sick.

As time went on years that is I would try to pin point everything.  This is how mine started. In the Morning when I wake up I would get what I called the " BURP"  this would tell me that within the next few hours i was going to be down and out . My illness would last about 3 days. after a few hours I would have graphic liquid dark diharriah. (SP)  at this point my stomach would be so rotton feeling I can only lay down and wait till next trip to bathroom.  shortly after a days worth of bathroom trips I would start the Vomit cycle. and I would alternate sitting and vomiting..  the smell in the bathroom would be unbarable..Im sorry for the graphic nature but I do think you understand the situation. I always ended up being able to start sleeping after a few cycles of vomit. .... I would only be able to drink ginger ale and eat the occasional cracker.this has been chronic for 9 years . 2 -4 times per year.  

Positve results....  the past 2 years I have been involved with an internet franchise that has alot of great products. if you look up ISOTONIX  you will find a digestive enzyme that is very helpfull.. The other product is called Ultimate Aloe.  I have been able to reduce my 3 day event to 12 hours. from the 1st burp to the last puke.. Now I still go through the entire cycle but I do it with less pain and in less time... Im not trying to sell you anything , I just know what it is like to look for answers.. i have spent hours on the internet and never got an answer, I went to the Dr and never got any relief.  This is what I have to help .I offer it cause I know how everyone feels....

Good Luck I wish you well  .. If you have any questions about anything that I have said here you may reply to me and I will supply my phone # if requested.   Dave

I have had the same problem since I had my first child who is now 4 1/2. I had it so bad that I could not even get up to walk and i was out with my kids doing errands. Not sure what causes it but the first time it happened I had eatten some ice cream so i cut down on my diary intake well than it happened again this time reall was not sure why. I do notice that when my bowels start to get hard or i do not go go has much i start to get the burps than the cramping in my stomach and lower back than the alternate trips to vomit or have diarreha. I have a endoscopy done and they didn't find anything so now I just take a latixtive to help with the hard bowls and it seems to help a little. I have three kids 4 1/2, 2 1./2 and 10 months, i wish they would find a the problem for this becasue it makes it hard to care ofr my kids

I find the comment about the Taco Bell to be a bit compelling...My symptoms (the hydrogen Sulfide burps accompanied by diarrhea) used to only arise when I ate too many Nacho Cheese Doritos, so I swore off of them completely. However, for the last two weekends in a row, these symptoms have returned.  I am with everyone else, I wish there was a difinitive diagnosis that came with this issue, because it is discusting and distressing to everyone who experiences it.  I also thought that I was alone and when I would try and explain the suffering to friends I would tell them, "I have burps that taste like farts!" No kidding.  Then yesterday a friend asked if there was an acidic or metalic taste to them, I didn't know.  If it is in fact hydrogen sulfide, then we are all suffering from an overly acidic stomach.  Tums have seemed to help, but only for a short time.

Today marks the second time this year, and it is only early March.  In January, it hit so bad that I had to go to the ER because dehydration had caught up with me.  During the night, I went to the toilet so much, that I f.  Of course, the ER said it was the typical "stomach flu"--I cannot remember the fancy name for it, but it is mentioned in these posts.  
elt on the verge of passing out.  Today, I woke up to the hydrogen-sulfide burp which signals the start of 24-48 hours of incapacitation.   The burp almost always comes first, and when it comes, that means that going to work for the day is out of the question.  Then, the stomach pain and diarrhea follow.  I have only vomited once last year.  Repeated burps, intense gas, and almost constant diarrhea are the symptoms.  I know it is over when the burps return to normal.  Then, it will be several days before the next bowel movement.  It is a fairly vile affair.  It is hard to sleep at night.  I have to be in a bed by myself, and one of the bathrooms in the house is reserved for me.  Going to work is out of the question as I would be on the toilet a great deal of the time.  Besides that, you could all imagine why a public restroom is not the ideal place to be.  I can hear my stomach churning,and the episodes in the bathroom can be rather loud.  

Judging by the other responses, there is no conclusive idea to what this is.  Today, it finally dawned on me that the fact it is recurrent points to something else.  My guess is that I have this "bug" all the time, but it is dormant the majority of the time.  Now, if we can figure out what makes it go active.  Whatever the case, all I can do is lay flat on my back until it is over.  This position seems to bring some measure of relief.

I had this last night and found this thread at 4am. I've had it ongoing for 2.5 years now, and I've had a lot of testing done for everything from parasites to gallstones to celiac disease to ulcerative colitis (blood, stool, urine, endoscopy, ultrasound and CT scan) but it's all come back clear.

Two comments have really jumped out at me, and I can't find the original authors but

1) I think food additive allergy/intolerance might be worth pursuing. Like others, the last thing I ate was Wendy's fries. A stupid "treat" I got for myself, amongst a pretty whole foods diet overall. :/ It sounds like there's quite a bit of variability about trigger foods, but I think it's possible a lot of us have food intolerances. RAST testing won't give accurate results for intolerances - you need to look at muscle testing, ALCAT testing, or keeping a food log and doing an elimination/provocation diet. ALCAT isn't covered by insurance and it's not cheap, but I think I'm going to be doing it soon because I can't keep on like this.

2) I read the post here on taking an antihistamine. I figured it couldn't really hurt to try it, and in 30 minutes the burps were totally gone. The food in my intestines still had to get out and that kept me up all night, but I didn't feel nauseous anymore, which was a marked improvement.

Another thing I experience with these episodes is that even after the acute attack is over, eating in the wake of it is tricky. I get pain easily afterwards and frequently wind up fasting for several days. The last attack I had, I decided to try eating a FODMAPs diet for a few days afterwards (it's a diet that avoids Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, and Mono-Saccarides and Polyols - thus the acronym). I had good results easing back into eating that way.

Hopefully that helps somebody. Sorry all, such a rotten thing to go through.

Sounds like an  off-egg smell fart coming up the wrong way.  Some are so bad they seem related to the sulfurcompound  mercaptin smells of skunks.
Maybe this will address part of the problem:   make sure all your sources of water to drink do not contain any sulfur related compounds.  During vacations  to SW  Florida I drank the smelly warteer, always had exceedingly smelly BM's and farts.
Tried drinking only bottled or canned products:  including cola drinks, bottled warter and even beer.   No smell.  .

And try this for a bland diet to reduce or eliminate diarrhea:   BANANAS, PLAIN RICE, ICED TEA, AND JELLO. NO CITRUS OR DAIRY PRODUCTS OR SOFT DRINKS. bananas provide potassium and other nutrients;  plain rice supplies carbs, iced tea provides tannic acid,  (no lemon but you can use a little sugar)  and jello,  provides some limited vitamins C  and  pectin.  stay hydrated with pure bottled water.
A Greek- born  and educated doctor working part of his residency on staff ay  the College Infirmary told me this.   It can work in some cases.  
One rapid response  rmed for diarrhea  is immodium.  Almosrt worth its weight in gold!   Hope this can help, even if just a little.

Pretty much have the same symptoms as most people here
-bad burps
-diarrhea or just constantly having to go to bathroom because of upset stomach
-vomiting occurs sometimes, not sure if because i smell the burps or because i have to

Someone had mentioned prevacid, in canada or at least quebec you need a prescription so pharmacist recommended pepcid, just took one now, its every 12 hours, ill update if it worked

hi steve, just to let you know. my wife has had this problem since she was 18 she is now 71, she has seen many doctors, consultants even having her gaul bladder removed all to no avail. it used to come sometimes lasting just for a day and sometimes lasting for months. after having the most recent bout for seven months in desperation she went to a new doctor. having explained the problem he gave it some thought, he told her to take a drug called DOMPERIDONE 10 MG TABLETS. ONE THREE TIMES PER DAY.after a week it went. she always said that when she found something that cured this problem she would make it known to everyone. i am not kidding when she had these bouts it was totally devestating because we could never have visitors, as the smell was tso bad,and it hung about the whole house. this has given her a new life sounds simple but there you are.it looks as though food was staying to long in the stomach. but DOMPERIDONE HAS CURED IT. try it and i hope it works for you. michael wilkinson

Ive had the same symptoms since I was in elementary. I know there hasnt been much talk about weight, but I am curious as to the weight of each person here.

I was obese my entire life and these aweful flatulent burps, diarrhea, vomiting is unbearable. Threatening even.

I can honestly say though, before I broke my neck over a year ago, I was vegan for over 2 years. During those 2 years I never once had this problem.

Since being bedridden and taken care of by obese individuals from church, it has come back.

Though my neck is healed, and I'm back to working out, it's been so hard to go back to vegan due to such addictions we have with animal products and tastes.

I'm 188.6 as of today, and low and behold, today is not the first day I have yet experienced it again since eating animal.

I'm really sick of this. And I truly wonder what impact the government has over our animal raising/farming.

If we are not eating organically fresh foods, the impact deadly poisons such as pesticides, steroids (which is illegal, right?)  and other harmful substances are doing to our bodies.

I want to be back in the great shape I worked so hard to be in before the accident. I want to feel great from knowing EVERYTHING that I'm putting into my body.

I will say though, taking a dose of Pepto, was a good temporary fix.

Not having insurance either and having to get to know MY body for all these years, being vegan sure seems to have helped me in the past.

Wish me luck! This won't be easy but will be beneficial!!!

OMGosh, I have been going through this for several years now and thought I was pretty much all alone. This site has lifted so much anxiety from me,just knowing there are others that have experienced this vile event. I was wondering one other thing however,and that is the "sound" of my burp. Good Lord it sounds otherworldly! Just a wonderin'... My worst,most embarrassing day was when I flew home for Christmas from Bellingham to SoCal. I was in the shower and those dang burps started. I froze with fear as I had to make that flight. I brought an extra coat and buried myself leaning against the window,faking sleep. It was all I could do to concentrate so I would not bust myself with the "audio". I dont think there was one person that didn't express themselves over the really rank odor in that plane including myself!!! I was horrified. I barely made it to the restroom for the next course. I had a two hr wait until the next flight and I did not budge off that toilet. I had it all-very frightful! I had to change my clothes. Luckily I was a few days early and had time to recoup before Christmas day. I woke up this morning starting the burp gig and all I know is I cannot go thru this again! If I experience some insight on treatment and relief,I will share. Im sorry you have to go thru this also and thank you everyone for speaking up. L

The best part about this whole community of sulphur excreters is the shared pain (physical and emotional). Knowing I'm not gonna die is a huge relief. When I woke up with the cramping I immediately thought oh god my appendix just burst, I'm gonna die. Then I calmed down when the sulphur tasting burps started, and I googled egg burps and found this site. I think calming down definitely helps. I also know for a fact that propper sleep helps with propper digestion, because when i get over tired I often get heartburn. For whatever that is worth...From what I've read those like me with rare attacks probably got a bug parasite or salmonella poisoning. I was sick yesterday but felt better after purging. Today I was fine until I went to bed then woke up around 1AM with that terrible abdominal pain. I don't feel bad for myself as I probably brought it on myself with over eating yesterday and I think I finished a piece of undercooked chicken (so I blame myself). But I feel helpless to help the kids on this forum that suffer from the malady. Some of you have chronic symptoms and that is horrible to hear and I hope you find relief. Good luck to you all and god bless.

I am currently experiencing something si
similar.
I think I got food poisoning 3days ago, causing me to vomit violently with diarrhoea. A couple of days on and I have these most disgusting eggy burps. I guess that the balance of my stomach has been upset which is causing this. I have had it before, and its a disgusting sense that whatever us going in my stomach is just fermenting.
I came online now to see what I could access easily because its a long bank holiday and most of the shops are shut. I am currently trying health salts that you can get cheaply from the supermarket, but I'm not sure of the results yet - other than a laxative effect which it does say can be expected on the tin. However, I was given some Carbo Veg homeopathic stuff a few days ago, and that did give immediate relief of symptoms then. So I will try and get some of that when the shops open. I will try a '6c' first.

I have been under an incredible amount of stress lately ... most of it stemming for all that comes with dealing with life and grief with my 5 children after my husband died very unexpectedly almost 4 years ago. I have a sty, which I have not had in probably 15 years. The eye Dr started me on antibiotics about 24 hours ago. Now I am having those nasty burps, gurgling guts, flatulence and that horrible stomach pain. I stopped taking the meds because I just can't stand the burps. I remember getting these when I was in High School. I can't remember what I did to get rid of them, but I wish I would just vomit than to keep burping every few minutes ... its about gagging me. I think I am dehydrated too, just from the hot weather and not drinking enough water. I am debating if a glass of water would help, but I am terrified that it is going to make it worse. All this just exacerbates the stress and symptoms ... Ugh ... its so bad, I wish someone would just rip my guts out and make it stop!!!  Father's Day without my husband, my dad, or any of my or my husband's grandfathers is bad enough ... these burps and this gas is just too much ... just make it STOP!!!!!  YUCK.. GAG!!!!

I have had it twice in the previous week, both after having a large amount of food just before i go to bed, so that may be a possible cause, also, I have found pinching  your nostrils with your fingers will allow you to not taste the burps at all until you unpinch your nostrils (pinching so that your nostrils are blocked), it isn't much but it takes the primary disgusting taste away.

  There is something called a 'stomach seizure'  its a neurological disorder which effects the stomach causing internal convulsions of the stomach...this can be mild or very severe.  All of the symptoms posted here fit the criteria.  I'm not saying all of u have this... But its a definite possibilty for some of you suffering this affliction.  Go to a neurologist, discuss the possibility with him or her and ask for an eeg and a sonogram.   You might just need to take a simple pill per day...  Or it may be more serious...either way...its with a shot.   Celiac disease is also a possible cause of this, also an allergy to a certain type of spicey food product might possibly be the cause.  If you are on any type of serious medication, like neurological medicines or medicines for cancer or HIV/AIDS, they have a history of causing these types of symptoms.

His burps are so bad ,my dad said one of my sons burps could run magets off a corps.Thats pretty bad, so we did some research and found the problem is a bacteria called ''Helicobacter pylori ''or H. pylori.Please look this up they can do a boold test,even just by smelling your breath because the bateria produces the egg smelly gas.The doc put him on Amoxicillian,Biaxin,Pepto,and Prilosect,we are starting these today,I hope they work.You can emial me and let me know if this wored for you.Goodluck FunnehGaal I hope your mother reads this and becomes a little more under standing.My son feels alot better now Knowingthat he's not a stinky freak and that it is a real medical condition.***@****

I've been having these stinky eggy burps for years now more so since moving to the states but over the last 2 or 3 months about once a week funny thing is my wife has the same thing but a little worse then me at times bad diarrhea and really bad bloating and cramps but hardly no vomiting she is going to the doctors at the moment she had a ultra sound today and the tech had a bad time as she was so bloated and gassy the ultra sound dont work to well with gas it has trouble seeing the doctor has done loads of blood tests but all have come back fine apart from a high white blood count as if she is fighting a infection the ultra sound was done to see if her gallbladder was full of slug well thats what the doctor said lol my wife seems to thing she has a gluten allergy that is making her this way but we eat mostly the same foods but we dont get stinky burps at the same time its so strange she does say that some foods will trigger her burps like broccoli and some greens and pork hope we find a way to get control of this.

I have finally found the answer!  I have been suffering from this for 4 years now, and I discovered the answer today!

As soon as you burp the first eggy burp, take an Alka Seltzer OR put a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it.

I am so amazed by reading this thread. I have had this burping, upset stomach thing, for years. For me, it comes and goes and I can for months and not have it. I actually just got over a bout of it. Well, not totally over it. I still don't feel too well, but the rotten egg burps are gone. I have had those so badly, that I can't go into public because they stink, just awful! Sometimes my breath even smells without burping. I also have noticed that I feel like burping sometimes, but nothing comes out. I usually have loose stools (that can be yellow in color and my doctor says yellow is okay). I don't know that any food necessarily causes it, or starts it, but I don't know that it can definitely make it worse. For me, fasting for a day, can make it allot better. I also know that eating beef can really make it worse and me feel sicker.  When this first started, it was before I had my gallbladder out, and I thought it might have been that, but having it out, didn't make it go away. I have wondered if it is caused by lack of gallbladder, or a properly functioning gallbladder.  I do know that I am more likely to have this in the spring and fall, (though not limited to) and the degree to which I get sick, can very. I have had it so badly that I couldn't leave the house because of urgency to use the bathroom. Bowels so lose that it just ran out, with no control.

I also experience some back pain while having this my stomach can be very bloated and distended, which I believe is gas. Sure would be nice to know what causes this. Yuck!

I have had two scary episodes of having endless diarrhea, vomiting, horrible headache, along with burping what tasted like greasy rotten eggs.  The first episode lasted 5 to 7 days.  This last episode lasted 24 hours, which I am currently recovering from it.

In both cases, I was self treating for a bladder infection, taking vitamin C and drinking non-stop amounts of diet Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice.  Two main ingredients of diet Cranberry Juice are Red Dye #40 and Sucralose, otherwise known as Splenda.  High doses of Splenda, can cause migraines and gastrointestinal issues.  Here is a link discussing the dangers of Splenda in high doses.  http://www.karlloren.com/Diabetes/p40e.htm.

Red dye #40 has it's own series of side effects, including causing migraines and cancer.  Here is a link discussing some of it's issues.  http://www.livestrong.com/article/487389-harmful-effects-of-red-food-coloring/

My first go around with this nastiness, I had kept drinking the diet cranberry juice during the entire episode, because I had bad bladder and possibly kidney infection.  I was downing the juice as fast as I could urinate it out.  When I ran out of cranberry juice, started getting better.  

This go around, as soon as I got sick, I couldn't hold down any juice or water or anything.  It took approximately 8 hours for the majority of it to work out of my system.  I still have a horrible headache and my right side is hurting, but that could be caused by the yellow gatorade I have been drinking, which is chalk full of yellow dye.

I know people think this is a huge joke, but most of what we eat is poisonous.  You might want to take a look at all of the foods you eat to see if they contain Splenda, (Sucralose), and red dye #40.  You might be surprised to know how many foods contain one or both of these.

I really good site to start learning about the poisons in your food is:  www.mercola.com.  Research, research, research...Most doctors are now pharmacists and do not have the knowledge base to help you with your health issues.  It is not their fault; it is just how it is.  Remember knowledge is power - just because the FDA tells you it is safe, doesn't mean it is.

Just thought I should share, I hope this helps some of you.
