Recurring Sulfur Burps and Diarrhea?

For the past 4 months, BOTH my husband and I have been having recurring stomach issues. It starts with sulfur burps, bloating, then nausea and stomach cramps, occasionally vomiting, and then always severe watery diarrhea. It is so miserable.

Sounds like you have Giardia. And the kefir is just a temporary fix. It’s just keeping the parasite at bey with an influx in Flor bacteria in your gut until the parasite can make a come back, and so on. and so forth. Very common bug, you could litterally catch it anywhere cuz of how easily it is to transmit . Treatable with a prescription from your doc. I’d go  get tested if I were you. Easy painless test.

I had the exact same symptoms. I've never found out exactly what causes it but I tried taking kefir and it worked!

Someone else here said it helped them. Now when the sulfur burps start I start taking half a cup of kefir every day.

So far it's worked. It never gets past the burp phase. No more stomach issues, pain etc. Thank goodness!
