What Causes Sulfur Tasting Gas While Burping?

Hi I am 51 and female, have reflux, sleep apena, diabetic and high BP, Psoriatic arthritis. I have been having bouts of burping sulfar tasting gas. Passing gas does not reproduce smell. It seems to happen late in the evening and lasts until mid morning, also nausious. Mentioned to PCP, she said she thought it was reflux but it is now happening everyday and was wondering what it could be and what questions to ask her to have it looked into.

Hello,

Possible gastritis or duodenitis with atypical organism infection which is giving sulfur smell through some sort of chemical reaction.

You must discuss the scope of chemical analysis of gastric lavage fluid for the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
