Why Do Burps Taste and Smell Like Farts? Causes & Relief


Question
I have been having the strangest thing happening, for the last 4 days, when I burp,it tastes like nasty cheerios or something and they smell like farts! I burp about every couple of minutes or so, so very often!  What do you think it could be?  Please help!


Answer
Hi Reagan,
This is probably a result of stomach upset from something you ate, viral gastroenteritis or rarely, gall bladder disease. One other possibility is a bacteria that grows in the stomach called Helicobacter Pylori.
You might try Gaviscon and or Pepto Bismol, both over the counter. If the symptoms continue, then I'd see your healthcare provider.
