Question on burps

What does it mean when my burps taste and smell like rotten eggs?

Depending upon the "timing" of your burps, it may mean that you have an insufficient amount of "friendly" bacteria in your stomach.  Your digestion may be insufficient and/or slow and your food is "putrifying" instead of being broken down.  If this is also a symptom with flatus, you may have a slow transit time which creates more putrification.  Or you may have some metabolic inconsistencies which create excess sulfur (the rotten egg smell.) http://www.countrydoc.com
