Sulphur burps - is this normal?

Is it normal to get sulphur smelling burps two or three times a year for seemingly no reason.

I did eat very rich food yesterday. Some of it fried. I haven’t had food poisoning in decades. No one else is feeling off today. I’m devastated my one day to relax has been completely ruined

I don’t think it’s normal to feel that a day is ruined by having burps, nor to be devastated by that, no.

Someone I know gets this on Mounjaro. So if you happen to be taking one of those sorts of weight loss drugs it could be that?

Pepto Bismol will help with sulphur burps. I don’t think it’s normal though, I only get them if I have a stomach bug, but a friend of mine gets them with being on mounjaro.

I don't think sulphur burps are normal, except maybe if you've got a stomach upset.

It's your gallbladder, aniseed gaviscon helps with the taste as does tonic water. See your GP for ultrasound
