I don't know what to do. I have had this on and off for over 6 years. Finally it came on and has lasted so far for 9 weeks straight.Egg farts, vomiting, explosive diarrhea constant. Had a ultrasound, a CT, and one of those cameras going down my throat. After that was done, I was in recovery and this doctor who I met one time before came in and told me that all that was wrong with me was I needed to chew my food better and walked out. I even went on a gluten free diet and it didn't help the doctor said I could go back eating regular food just chew it better. I was taught when I was a child to chew my food 25 times for each bite which I have done for almost 50 years. I've just about had it. I will NOT go the rest of my life like this. It isn't worth it. I'd rather take something (and I have plenty to do it) and just go to sleep than live like this any longer. Can someone give me some advice before I take the final step? I"m not trying to get attention I"m serious. I"m so tired of living like this all the time now. Please help

What do you normally eat? Tell us what your meals look like. Maybe you will need a short fast before you can get well again.

That's pretty much what eggs do to me. Could be a food allergy or sensitivity. You could try some elimination diets and see if anything makes a difference.

I don't think the person means eggs do this, but that the smell/taste is like rotten eggs. Which I think isn't that uncommon with any sort of digestive problem.

blayzesmom - Did the doctor find food that didn't look very digested in your stomach? I wonder if that could point to a possible motility issue. Your stomach contracts/clinches to push the food about and crush it up more before it dumps into the intestinal tract. If this didn't happen the food would sit too long, dump in the wrong state (not digested enough) and could cause symptoms like you're having.
To find out if this is the problem you'd need a motility test - not an ultrasound, CT, or even an endoscopy.

Try cutting out all processed foods. Eat only fruit, vegetables, nothing fried, no breads for a few days and see what happens.
