Sulphuric/ Eggy burps and stomach cramps

[lilsavage]

I found the above  topic last night at this same forum, though its dated 6 yrs back and I couldnt find anything more recent as I was searching for an answer to my own problem of the foulest burps that ever existed, then comes the diarhea and finally the vomitting. For me this can last up to two or three days. I was so relieved to find that other people have and are experiencing these same symptoms. Though im worried that no one has found and answer, maybe they have, as I said, the only forum I found for this is on this web site and its 6 yrs old. Im hoping someone has some new answer to this same problem. Its dibilitating when it happens, hard to go to work while im busy crapping and puking myself to half to death. Again, the burps are the absolute worst, those alone taste so bad its enough to make me sick and the sulphuric smell is just awful. Really its like im farting out my mouth. Hopefully after 6 yrs someone has some kind of real answer to this problem.

Thk you.

You need to be tested for celiac disease. I have the exact same symptoms in the same exact cycle as everyone else and I went gluten free and I feel so much better. The problem with celiac is it's a relatively new disease that is being studied and a lot of doctor's don't know much about it. You can get a negative blood test for celiac and then a positive biopsy or vice versa. There is also such a thing as Non celiac gluten sensitivity which was just recognized in 2011 as an actual "thing" but it is believed to be the beginning stages of celiac. It will give you a positive blood test and a negative biopsy because it takes time for the villi in the intestine to break down but you are still testing positive for an immune reaction to gluten.

"during my last bout, I broke out in a horrible burning itching rash, starting with my feet and palms." <--I had this same symptom & was later diagnosed with Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (a liver disorder.) I urge you to have your liver enzymes measured at your next doctor's visit.

Whoops!  I dun' goofed.  I meant to write ...I want you folks who suffer from this to be diligent..." Drop the "to let" & move on.  Yea, I'm 1 of those types who believe spelling & grammar do make a difference.  Sorry about that. Carry on...

Look folks, there's a real difference in getting nasty burps & poots from eating "Red Baron Pizza" (ick!) & other highly processed & preservative laden foods & the farty smelling burps & constipation of gastroparesis.  There's a difference in smelly burps & those that smell akin to having those that smell like farts sent from the 7th level of Hades. I have an autoimmune disease so it wasn't a far stretch for me to be diagnosed with autoimmune gastroparesis.  I want to let you folks who suffer from this to be diligent & keep a diary of what you eat, when your symptoms start & subside, also keeping track of your bowel movements without having to get too graphic just simply state when & the consistency & if diabetic, also monitor your blood sugar in this diary too.  Doing these things can help your physicians to diagnose.  Sadly, if you do have true gastroparesis, the only thing you can do to help is to only eat foods that are cooked. :(  Which really bites the big one as I LOVE salads & fresh fruits.  There are medications but they should only be used in the worst case scenarios or with those who have diabetes.  I've found that being sedentary makes things worse so get up offa' than thang & exercise, even if it's just walking.  Good luck.

   i feel or ya. i can't any dairy, that includes soy and almond milk. i can't eat eggs either. i get it sometimes as much as a couple times a week. sometimes i think it would be best just not to eat at all, but diabetes don't like that. i've seen my va doctor a few times, and again nothing seems to really work. alka-seltzer helps some.
   one morning sitting on the edge of the bed getting ready to take that big morning ****, had a cigarette in my mouth. i sparked up a fire on the ole zippo to get a light and just then one of those nasty burps comes up. when it hit the flame it flash fired and scorned the hair of my goatee and nose hairs. i jumped back across the bed freaking out. i'm thinking flammable gases coming from ur body like that isn't good for u.
   i'm only 51, but when i have these bouts, i feel like i should be wearing a depends just in case, but usually don't leave home during that time. i learned my lesson. i can clear a room with one burp or fart. and the sounds that come from my gut, like a water cooler bubbling.
i take omeprazole 20mg cap for acid reflux,lopermide 2ng cap for diarrhea, alka-selter and or baking soda helps with bloated feeling. a couple hits off my pot pipe helps with the nausea. not i have tried actually stops it, but these have helped me some. good luck.

I'm suffering from this for the first time. I'm 37 years old. My daughter is 2 yrs. Old and just recently she went through a long bout of this.  Obviously she can't really tell me about her symptoms but it sure seems very similar. It seems way wores in the middle of the nite. She would be very gassy with diaria as I am and she would burp and it smelled just like the nasty egg burps I'm having. The doc. Gave her some probiotics and it seems to have gone away for her for the time being.Doesn't it seem like this has to be some kind of parasite or or bug that people can contract from each other sence I'm reading alot of people on different forums say that them and there children are suffering from it? Or maby from something we all eaght? Me and my dauter both enjoy hungry jack mashed potatoes does that strike a chord with anyone? How about soy milk? We both drink that becouse were lactose intolerant.
