A sulfur burp is simply a burp accompanied by a foul rotten egg smell. This smell is that of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas.
Sulfur burps are typically caused by one of the following:

  •      Something a person ate: Hydrogen sulfide gas is produced when bacteria in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract break down food. This can result in foul-smelling burps or flatulence. Foods that may cause sulfur burps include high-protein foods and beer.

  •       Gastrointestinal issues: A typical cause of sulfur burps is a digestive issue. Conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), may cause gas from the stomach to rise up as burps and stomach acid reflux.

A few different bacteria that can lead to sulfur burps may also affect the digestive system.
Infection in the upper gastrointestinal tract caused by the H. pylori bacterium can cause problems, including bloating, heartburn, and sulfur burps.
Other issues can cause or be associated with sulfur burps. These include:
  • food poisoning : -  Food poisoning is rarely serious and usually gets better within a week. You can normally treat yourself or your child at home.
  • prescription drugs:- A drug requiring a prescription, as opposed to an over the counter drug, which can be purchased without one.
  • stress :- Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts.
  • anxiety :- Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. While stress and anxious feelings are a common response to a situation where we feel under pressure, they usually pass once the stressful situation has passed, or ‘stressor’ is removed.
  • pregnancy :- The state of carrying a developing embryo or fetus within the female body.
