In the 16th century, before the term mandarin became widespread in the European languages, the word Loutea (with various spelling variations) was often used in Europeans' travel reports to refer to Chinese scholar-officials.
Why do some people get smelly gas after eating eggs? I really love eggs, but I get really bad, sulfurous and rotten egg-smelling gas after eating eggs. This doesn't happen when I eat foods which contain eggs in moderate amounts (cakes, etc), but it does happen when I eat hard-boiled eggs or fried eggs. I don't get any stomach cramps or any other symptoms of allergy, however.
During the time of breakdown, a lot of gas will accumulate. And because protein breakdown causes the release of hydrogen sulfides, when complex protein stay in stomach for long, it is likely to cause the egg burps. Some of the foods that contain sulfur are such as onions, garlic, red meat, dairy products, and eggs.
