Yukky sulphur burps: advice needed (warning, yukky)

Afternoon

Does anyone else here get a weird tummy problem which results in whiffs sulphur burps from deep down in your gut? I’m not talking about a smelly food belch, this is like the smell of pure rotten eggs.

It’s not accompanied by diahorrea or vomiting, but I have been sick with it before. It seems to link in with my menstrual cycle and I’ve had it since I was about 17.

It can vanish for years but I’ve had about 5 bouts this year alone. It really zaps my energy and makes me feel gross.

Question

Does this sound familiar and if you get it what is it, how do you treat it and how can you avoid it?

I’m not coeliac, I don’t have IBS, I’m not gluten intolerant, it’s not heartburn and gaviscon, peppermint oil, tums etc do feck all.

It’s a mystery. A twenty year old mystery!

You’re very welcome paul!!

It was a revelation to me too - it just made complete sense!! That ‘off’, heavy feeling a day or so before, The undigested food vomit 🤮. In fact if I get that heavy feeling theses days, I drink loads of water and make myself sick, eat very, easily digestible food and take motilium for a few days, . Prob not the best solution but it stops it. Not bet helpful when you have heart issues though. Although, Weirdly, I am awaiting a cardiology apt for weird heart/chest symptoms.... I’ll go and read up on tachycardia..... you might have a 🦄 winging its way to you too!

I took time off school whenever it started when I was at school because of the horrendous burps.... so no one ever witnessed them. When my poor DH did, he couldn’t believe it wasn’t a fart! 🤣💩🤭

Good luck!!

Hi, I’m suffering with this at the moment. Did you get to the bottom of it ? I’ve had ultrasound scans stool samples sent off you name it. Still no further forward although mine is usually accompanied with vomiting and diarrhoea. I used to link mine to my cycle too but then it’s started happening more often. I had it every other week then it stopped for months, and now it has re started. All my tests were clear.
