Belching with rotten eggs is a condition in which a person releases gases with an unpleasant odor of hydrogen sulfide. Such an eructation almost always signals various violations in the gastrointestinal tract, so it can not be ignored. Let us consider in more detail the causes of burping with rotten eggs and methods of its treatment.
Belching with rotten eggs: the main causes
Usually belching with rotten eggs occurs when the process of digestion is inhibited in the stomach and intestines of a person. This causes stagnation of unprocessed foods, which gives rise to gas formation and belching.
Most often, this process starts for the following reasons:
1. The presence of salmonella and other dangerous bacteria in the human intestines is one of the most common causes of burping with rotten eggs.
2. A deficiency in the production of essential enzymes can occur with severe inflammation in the pancreas.
3. Failures in bile secretion, which leads to disruption of the overall digestion and processing of fats.
4. The presence of severe inflammation in the gastric mucosa.
5. Lack of motor function of the stomach.
6. Poisoning by spoiled food.
7. Improper nutrition, which most often happens when a person is overeating fatty and meat dishes. At the same time, a stomach is placed on a stomach that is not used to such food, and he simply is not able to digest everything on time. This causes prolonged fermentation in the digestive tract, which may be accompanied by nausea, heaviness in the stomach and other unpleasant symptoms.
8. Various acute intestinal infections.
9. Stenosis.
10. Pancreatitis (chronic form).
11. Gastritis.
12. Diseases of the duodenum.
13. The individual intolerance of certain food products (for example, the use of dairy products when they are completely not assimilated).
14. Human addiction to frequent use of indigestible food (mushrooms, legumes, fried meat dishes, sauces, etc.).
15. Reduced acidity of gastric juice.
16. Various liver diseases (hepatitis, cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, etc.), when bile is produced in small quantities.
17. Gluten enteropathy is a disease in which a person develops an acute intolerance to gluten (cereal protein). In this state, the body will not completely digest all flour products, bread and cereals. It is also worth saying that gluten enteropathy is often transmitted along the genetic line (by inheritance).
