QuestionI have hasd rotten egg or sulfuric smelling burps with diarea. this has happened in the past from eggs, milk, pizza, french fries, andthing greasy at all and from popcorn. it happens only when i eat these foods and for a while it did stop when i drank milk and ate eggs. but it started soon after my first pregnancy with eggs again. I also could eat these things while being pregnant and not have any problems. I have had these symptoms since 1998. I have not had pain in my abs before today and it was only in my upper abs. these symtoms usually last a day or two and pepto bismol NEVER works. so my questions are What does it sound like i may have ? What can help me stop this? Has anyone shown symptoms like this that gt worse?
AnswerYes, this is usually due to one or more of several things:
1) eating wheat barley rye, so get an HLA DQ 2,8 genetic test for celiac disease
2) too much plant oil in the diet from chips, poultry products, peanut products, granola products, or flax
3)Helicobacter pylorii infection of the stomach and bowel so get the blood test for this
4)Abnormal gut bacteria, so consider eating or drinking yogurt four times a day for at least a month then daily at least, the more is better
