Sulphuric/ Eggy burps and stomach cramps

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.

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.

My wife has had this for years and cant find a solution. Taking these medications will only temporarily solve your problems, causing more serious problems due to taking these unhealthy temp fixes. She seemed to think she was allergic to gluten but even a no gluten diet didn't help. I believe her stomach is not making enough actual acid to eat the food quickly enough, although there is always acidic fluid in her stomach, hence the vomiting. Acid destroys the bacteria in healthy individuals food, but what happens if there isn't enough actual acid in the mixture of fluids? The food begins to rot and the bacteria makes you sick as if you had food poisoning right? Simple solution yet not experimented with as of yet: I believe a  glass of half APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, half water, will eliminate the bacteria on contact, as well as immediately stop the message to the brain..... which is....  "something is wrong" and how else does your body tell you this other than pain? KILL THE BACTERIA!!!! Pinch your nose so that you cant taste the vinegar and gulp the glass down. This will be her next in a long line of tests we have experimented with. I will let you know how it works, try it, and let us know your results. If the doctors cant do anything but feed us more unhealthy medication for a quick fix then we need to come together to solve this mystery of STINKYYYYYY BURPS......did someone let off a stink bomb in here?

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.

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!
