I would strongly suggest u see a GI dr....he will check u for a hiatal hernia or other digestive issues. SInce we r not drs here we can only offer support, not dx what is wrong...and a dr couldn't do that either without seeing u.
Please see ur dr to find out what may be the root cause...in the meantime u may want to ask ur Pharmacist what OTC med could be helpful to u.
And u should watch ur diet...some foods may be adding to ur issue.
Our Health Pages have info on foods to avoid and lifestyle changes that in addition to meds can help.
In addition to ur burping u may have a motility issue where ur digestive track is moving too slow...and again the GI dr is the best to help....this may be a cause for the weight increase.
Alcohol is on the list to avoid as well as carbonated bevs......dairy can also cause issues...
Please post an update on ur progress and do continue to post ur questions and concerns.
