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.
Stomach bloating is caused by gas that gets trapped in the intestines and colon. It is normal for the digestive tract to produce gas. Everyone gets gas that gets processed through the mouth and rectum. That gas is produced in the body either by ingesting it when we eat or by being formed during digestion.
