sometimes when I'm on a certain medicine like right now I'm taking a supplement of L-theanine and it's causing gas and whenever I burp, it tastes like cherrios or eggs or something I can't describe.

I know I don't have GURD or acid refulx or IBS or anything like that.

anyone here have anything like that and a possible remedy?

Offhand I'd guess your body is unable to properly metabolize that protein due to lack of the proper enzyme. You have a few options: keep consuming it in the hopes your body learns to produce said enzyme (humans are very adaptable), quit taking the supplement, somehow find something that will allow you to digest it better, or just learn to live with the side effects.
