Why do some people get smelly gas after eating eggs? I really love eggs, but I get really bad, sulfurous and rotten egg-smelling gas after eating eggs. This doesn't happen when I eat foods which contain eggs in moderate amounts (cakes, etc), but it does happen when I eat hard-boiled eggs or fried eggs. I don't get any stomach cramps or any other symptoms of allergy, however.
Many healthy individuals are concerned that they have too much intestinal gas, thinking that their digestive tract could be malfunctioning. While gas in itself is not dangerous, our inability to control its passage might have social implications.Studies have shown that the average person generates 0.6-1.8L of gas per day. This gas comes from two sources, swallowed air (exogenous) and that produced by colonic bacteria (endogenous).Intestinal gas is composed of various amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.Oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide come from swallowed air and hydrogen and methane are by-products of the breakdown of food residue by good bacteria (probiotics) naturally residing in the colon.hile gas in itself is not dangerous, our inability to control its passage might have social implications.
