Two eggs = smelly farts? page

[orielwen]

I usually have an egg (amongst other things) for my breakfast. Recently I've been noticing that I sometimes get hungry mid-morning, so I've added in a second egg, particularly on workout days. But in the afternoons and evenings when I've had a two-egg breakfast, I find I produce significant sulphurous emissions. Does anyone else have this problem, and what can I do about it?

LOL! Nothing like a good fart problem for a laugh. How are you cooking the eggs? I find I can eat 6 scrabbled eggs without out any "extra bad smell"...but hard boiled eggs will cause that sulphurous smell....if I soft boil them (so they are still somewhat liquid in the middle) I don't have the issue.

i sometimes eat 4 eggs per day and do not have this issue, lol.

stop eating eggs and see what happens, i guess? or just pretend you're in a terence and philip episode.

Soft boiled, yolk gooey at the edge and still runny in the middle.

Maybe you're allergic?

I have a two egg spinach or mushroom omelette every morning and I don't have the problem.

I wonder if it could be a particular combination of ingredients, rather than just the extra egg, that's causing noxious emissions?

I have found that any rumbling in your stomach or gas after eating a food usually means your body does not want it.
