What Causes Gas To Smell Like Sulfur Or Rotten Egg?
For about 5 months, I have had increased bad smelling gas: a sulphur or rotten egg smell. No pains. Just embarrassing! I am 51, about a year into menopause and on wellbutrin and lexapro (have been for several years). My diet hasn t changed and I don t notice any link to anything. The gas is daily and pretty random all day.
