Brief Answer:
Acid Peptic Disease.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
The sulphur taste and smell in mouth associated with burping can be due to many reasons most common being Acid Peptic Disease, Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, Dental Cavities.
In such situations I advise following:
1. To get a dental check up done to rule out dental caries.
2. To start on combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone.
3. To take soft, bland diet.
4. To walk after each meal.
5. Avoid smoking, Alcohol consumption in case you do.
I hope this would help you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
