Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Bad smell while burping can indicate that foods stay for too long in the stomach what leads to its fermentation. Foods present in the stomach for to long can indicate some problem with stomach or duodenum like peptic ulcer or even stomach cancer.
That is why I suggest you to have gastroscopy done as a next step with H.Pylori test.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
