In the 16th century, before the term mandarin became widespread in the European languages, the word Loutea (with various spelling variations) was often used in Europeans' travel reports to refer to Chinese scholar-officials.
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.
Gas production is indicated by the gas formation between the broth and the petroleum jelly plug which. pushes the wax plug toward the top of the tube. Small bubbles that may accumulate over the incubation. period are not read as positive, only when the wax plug is separated from the broth is the test read.
