What Causes Rotten Egg Tasting Belches And Burning Sensation In Torso?
Question: I start by bulching that taste like acid or rotten eggs. Then that turns into diarriha. I have to take pepto bismal to stop it but it comes back a few days later. On a separate thing my skin will start burning from my head to usually my stomach, following that is severe itching. It feels like I could tear my skin off it itches so bad.
Brief Answer:
Take losec and probiotic
Detailed Answer:

Diarrhoea is due to GUT infection bacterial or viral. Third is iburning and itching sensation over the skin it may due to some skin disease. Now taking these issues one by one
1. For belching I will suggest you to take a proton pump inhibitor like losec once od before breakfast. Avoid spicy, fatty meals and citrus fruits
2. For diarrhoea take sufficient fluid and elctrol powder to prevent fluid and electrolyte insufficiency. Take a course of probotic like econorm. Meanwhile get your stool examinaed. If it is suggestive of bacterial infection then add antibiotic like ofloxacin
3. For skin issue you should consult a Dermatologist for physical examination and management.
