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.
Hens eggs smell funny. by Melissa. (Iowa). Question. Hens eggs smell funny: We have Rhode Island Reds, Black Australorps, Barred Rocks, and Buff Orpintons. They are between 2-3 years old. Some of the eggs that we collect smell weird, almost like a chemical smell on the shell. The shell looks normal but the odor is quite strong. And some of the eggs have no odor at all.
