Eggy burps

[PrettyCandles]

Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable and burpy, and find that my burps taste rather nastily of hard-boiled eggs. But I won't have eaten any eggs on that day.

So, why?

(They don't normally taste of hard-boiled eggs.)

i always get like that if i have a stomach bug

I'm the same as Lou33. Usually means I've got a tummy bug, sometimes I get the runs too but not always.

Tummybug, usually.

But when I have a D&V bug, I don't get the eggy burps, and when I get the eggy burps I don't get the D&V.

I feel a bit bleurgh, but not sicky, and I don't get the churning feeling in my bowels.

I suppose it could be a different sort of tummy bug?

if you experience it quite a bit with no other D&V symptoms it's probably just heartburn.

If it's frequent I'd go to your GP for a check up.

Are you taking iron medication? Iron sulphate 'disagrees with me' as MIL would say. In an eggy smelly way.

Nt taking any supplements (tho I know what you mean ). I do reflux, tho without any heartburn*, but then I can generally identify what I've eaten from what comes up. These eggy burps are just gas, nothing more.

*Which is another thing that puzzles me: if reflux is supposed to be so painful, why does it not hurt me at all?

I have this, especially through my thrid pregnancy, and my GP told me it was related to IBS.

Mmm...IBS is connected with stress...and my bowels do go nuts from time to time, and I have been incredibly stressy for the last few years...I wonder...

Interesting!
I used to suffer from IBS quite badly and then when I became pregnant for the first time, my bowels were fine.
Then, New Years Eve 2006 I had these awful eggy burps that got worse as the day went on..in fact so bad that my sister and DH could smell the eggyness .
Anyway, long story short...3am New Years Day, I went into labour so perhaps natures way of 'clearing me out'?!
Was expecting this to happen again when I was pregnant with DD but nothing!
Aren't our bodies weird?!

i have ulcerative colitis, but whilst it makes my bowels go nutso at times, it doesnt make me do eggy burps
