Yikes, sounds like the onset of diabetes type 2, usually when your breath starts to smell bad and he keeps burping, that means that his body is digesting the fats in his body to compensate for the imbalance in sugars, that's also a key sign of diabetes when a person is always thirsty!. Have his blood glucose levels checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Uh, I would go to the hospital!. I feel you on the insurance matter, however, better safe than sorry!. Maybe you can apply for emergency medi-cal or something!. Most counties offer those services!. Most people never really know about these services or even think they qualify, but well worth looking into!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well, it sounds like he may have eaten something, and until it's out of his system, the symptoms will remain,give him pepto bysmol, it'll coat the stomach!. but don't let him sit there and dehydrate!. make him drink liquids(Gatorade would be best) and if he starts throwing up blood or has bloody poops, take him to the doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
Jeez, I feel so bad for him! I know what he's going through from first hand experience!. Those sulphur burps are the absolute worst!! He has a gastric thing going on and the only thing that stopped my 'incidents' was to take Pepto Bismol!. If that doesn't work for him, take him to a clinic for a diagnosis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This is a beautiful example of the need for universal health care!. If people are seriously sick, and turn to random people on the Net for medical help because they can't afford the cost of real care, the system is broken!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OMG! the same thing use to happen to me!. Except in my case it was something I ate and it didn't digest to good like very acidic food!. This isn't anything serious the only way for him to get rid of it is for him to get it out of his system!. If his burps smell like acid the best thing I could say is that he has to throw it up and trust me that won't smell to good either!. Try going to a pharmacy and get some over the counter drugs that will put his situation at ease!. But the only problem is he has to becareful of the vomiting because he can become dehydrated!.
