It’s what you eat – try to avoid beef and lamb if you can, stick to chicken and fish for a while, along with a varied diet of vegetables, fruits, and bread. Cut down on softdrinks as well – try the zero sugar kind in moderation.

I have been burping, and it taste like rotten eggs, what does mean? what causes it?

Q: i have also been having sharp pains and just pains in my stomach, are the two problems related?

A: OK know exactly what you mean. What you are experiencing is the gas released by bacteria that is in your stomach(this bacteria should not be there). Sometimes it only causes a strange taste, some times it causes nausea vomiting and diarrhea as well as cramps. It usually comes from eating improperly cooked food, but the same bacteria is found naturally in your digestive tract. You can also get it from not washing your hands and then consuming food, or from contaminated water. It can be caused by girrardia, e-coli and several other bacteria. The best thing to do is make sure that you rest, drink plenty of liquids and let it run its course. If you experience severe pain vomiting and diarrhea you need to go get checked out in the ER. If you have any pre-existing conditions such as diabetes you need to go before the symptoms get severe as you can cause dangerously low blood sugars due to vomiting. Also if you have never had your appendix removed and you have an absence of BM’s then you need to be checked to ensure that you do not have a bowel obstruction or appendicitis.
