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 may not be getting your food through your system adequately. Drink LOTS of water, less dairy/milk, and you might try adding some bulk to your food, in the form of flax seed or a little Metamucil. Taking Pepcid or other antacids may help. If you have not seen a gastroenterologist and had an upper GI and lower GI examination, I highly recommend you do so, and it should help. And don't fuss; these tests are not as bad as people will say, and well worth getting the issue resolved.

I have had this for the last few years. Last summer, I decided I needed to lose weight and, on the advice of a friend who'd lost weight,I tried avoiding wheat. I didn't go full-on gluten free, or anything. Those foods marked "gluten free" almost always have way too many ingredients from the laboratory to be healthy, in my opinion. Anyway, for four months I stopped eating breads, pasta, crackers, cereals, etc...and, remembering that bread is hidden in a lot of foods like pizza, croutons, doughnuts... I not only lost 40 lbs, but I stopped having the dreaded diarrhea episodes that start with the rotten egg burps. Then I cheated a lot and ate a lot of wheat for two months, gaining back 12 lbs and starting again with the diarrhea.
I've researched wheat. The hybridized wheat that is in all of our food has as much as 50 times the gluten of naturally occurring wheat. The human body is not equipped to metabolize this much gluten. I believe the monumental increase in gluten in our diet may be behind all the obesity, diabetes, and heart disease suffered by modern cultures with industrialized food systems. Avoiding wheat is worth a try!

I have had this for years. I am curios to know how many of you that have this eat items that contain real buttermilk, particularity salad dressings like Hidden Valley Ranch and Uncle Dan's made at home with buttermilk as well as like the Jack In The Box Buttermilk Dipping Sauce? I am pretty convinced that mine is caused by this. I have read in previous post that it could be a bacteria problem. I would imagine buttermilk could carry a lot of it. Let me know....

Like so many others, I am so comforted knowing a) I am not crazy, and b) I am not alone!
I started having the worst diarrhea ever in mid-September. Lasted almost three weeks. During this time I noticed I have these awful eggy/sulfur type burps and nausea. Normally I might have to burp after drinking something carbonated, etc, but these nasty burps come out of the blue. The diarrhea was so bad and I lost so much fluid I ended up taking an ambulance from my office to the ER. Turns out I was in acute renal failure. Dozens of tests and thousands of dollars later, I knew I was in renal failure but no idea what started the whole thing. These symptoms have returned twice since then (including right now) and my primary care doc is at a loss. He gave me Lomotil to stop the diarrhea (works like a charm) but dose nothing for the burping and nausea. I'm going to Walgreen's on my lunch hour to pick up Prevacid and see if that helps.
I wish health & happiness for you all!

Poor thing. Have you ever tried digestive enzymes and probiotics? I have these symptoms at times too, maybe twice a year and not as severely as you do, but when I get this I realize it has to do with "gut" health and I start taking full spectrum digestive enzymes at each meal and a large dose (at least twice the dose recommended on the label) of live probiotics. The problem goes away in a couple of days--the stomach pain, feeling overly full and bloated, the gas, the belching, etc. Hope this helps you too.
