hi there, im new here. i surf from dozen sites already that are related to my problem and this site is the best and i guess would give me answer to my problem. i am 27 years old. 140lbs. 5`0 in height. my problem is about burping. i first notice it last year after i stop drinking too much alcoholic drinks. i am an alcoholic person before and decided to stop just last year. i know burping is normal. but in my case, i keep burping even if im not drinking carbonated drinks. i am suffering from continuous burping before and after eating. it has been months now and i still burp. right now when im typing this i sometimes burp. this is so annoying. is this a serious health problem? last year my weight was 110 lbs now im 140lbs. does it something to do with weight also? really, how to cure this pls?

Hi,
You are having symptoms of acid peptic disease.
You may have an upper GI endoscopy and 24 hours pH monitoring done to rule out the above mentioned cause.
Relief from symptoms may be obtained with PPI like prilosec.
