Can we discuss SULPHUR BURPS?!

[brittmiche]

Omggggg one day they came AND NEVER LEFT. WTF antacids don't help I even read somewhere something in sweet tarts help. Nope. These mfs about to run me out my own damn house. Like seriously WTF

Have you tried digestive enzymes? I take the NOW brand super enzymes

This is going to sound weird but the one time I had them, eating olives and sipping on the juice from the jar helped. I think they happen because your digestion is slowed way down, and the additional acidity helps break stuff down. Not to mention masks the taste/smell.... But the biggest help was backing down the dose. I jumped from 5mg to 7.5mg and bam, sulfur burps. The next week I backed down to 5.5mg and haven't had issues since. Now I go up in 0.5mg increments.

Some ideas:

• Some foods are very worse than others, so look how you can tweak your diet.
• digestive enzymes are good option to try
• sometimes gas also causes pressure and indigestion, and you get burps. try simethicone pills/chewable.
• not sure what anti-acids you've tried, just chewable calcium or something more potent like an H2 blocker (famotidine)? You should talk to your doctor about the options. The next step would be a PPI (omeprazole) but they aren't a good idea for the long term, so be wary. I'd stick to daily famotidine.

No help with famo. (I hardly even eat) I know that's not good but it's the truth I damn sure aren't getting my daily 100g protein.

I hope it was black olives? I like both but Def black. I'm not on a high dose I do about 4mg 2x wk.

And you had them started these and it helped/fixed?

Green olives. It's the acid in the brine that helped. Maybe the salt too? I've heard eating pickles works as well. 4mg 2x a week is a pretty good dose. GLP-1 Plotter shows that 4mg tirz every 3.5 days comes out to a peak of just under 10mg and low of just under 8mg.

You asked: "Can we discuss SULPHUR BURPS?"​

Sure, so long as you stand far away from me.

I've had serious problems with this. Bismuth Subsalicylate (in pill form) completely fixed it for me.

I've even had mornings where I woke up feeling that I'm starting to have the burps - I just took a half-pill of Bismuth and it was completely gone after 2 hours.

Shit. I really like black olives I mean yeah, but damn this wasn't a thing with brand, which makes no sense bc of how they even exist...

I've been experiencing this same issue!

I had some pulled pork for New Years Day and ever since I've had to walk around with chewable calcium. At the slightest hint of acidity I pop one right away.

Thankfully they make pepto in pill form now. That chalky crap used to make me gag when I was litte...

I am literally appalled at the fact of how I roll over in bed and just feel it building then BOOM! I was in such pain last sat night(went out for dinner) I fantasized about shoving a vacuum down my throat if only it were that easy

I am not currently experiencing the sulphur burps, however, I remember them as being awful.
