Is this normal??? Does this happen to anybody else??? When will it stop??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smartypants 14 Posted August 11, 2012 I've been belching a lot but was told this would eventually resolve. Do you feel all right otherwise? An unpleasant odor usually means somethings not right. You could give the office a call and ask them about this. If you're not feeling ill (I'm thinking an infection) then it's probably something that's going to eventually resolve.

unknown54678997 50 Posted August 11, 2012 Belching is normal due to reduced stomach size. The smell could be due to the fact your body has hit Ketosis. As we are on a very low carb diet, our bodies hit Ketosis. This causes bad breath and a range of other symptoms. I have attached a link for your reference. If you are still concerned , consult your doctor . http://diet.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Ketosis_Symptoms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackmagikcrush 7 Posted August 11, 2012 I have had rotten egg burps or sulphur burps a few times. Mixing apple cider vinegar 2 tsp with Water can help or drinking seltzer water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
