Rotten egg burps

Hi Everyone, I'm Evan and I'm from Illinois. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease about five years ago now and am currently in remission thanks to my savior, Remicade.

I'm reaching out because I have a rather embarrassing issue that has been transpiring for about six months now. I have burps that smell like rotten eggs. They smell so bad that it makes my stomach churn every time I smell them. My wife tries to be supportive but it has definitely affected our levels of intimacy. And I can't say that I blame her.

It seems that everything in my life is somehow related to Crohn's Disease so I figure this is as well. Has anyone here had rotten egg burps? If so, what caused it or how did you solve the issue?

Hi Evan and welcome to the forum! I'm pleased you've found your way here. That's absolutely amazing that Remicade as you in remission, I'm very pleased for you.

I see you got some answers to the rotten egg burps question in that other thread. If you do talk to your doctor about h.pylori or SIBO as a potential cause, will you report back what they say or if they test for it?

Again, welcome :)

I found this site searching about burping and h.pylori. Is the sulfur smell gone yet or does it continue to persist? I am thinking of asking my doctor to test me as I have the same issue as you.
