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.
