24/7 burping

Hi this may be a strange one it is for me I am a 50 year old female who suddenly has started burping non stop. I feel full all the time even though I get hungry,my stomache under my breasts I feel is dystended and is also painful after I eat. I have major constipation usually only going every couple of days and then it resembles rabbit turds. If I drink coffee with flavored creamer I might go once sort of normal. But this burping is out of control I have no heartburn but sometimes feel like something is caught in my throat, I thought it was my gallbladder because of the burping and stomach pain but my doctor said no I had an ulcer. But my symptoms don't say ulcer, he prescribed nexium and I took it for 1 month with no relief.also metacloramine before eating. anyone else had this problem I would appreciate any feedback thank you.

If you are having this much diffuculty with constipation it might be a good idea to take a simple over the counter stool softener. Keep track of how well it works to get your stool back to a soft state. Then modify the dose according to wether it is still too hard or whether it makes it too soft. Also a simple daily dose of fiber like metamucil is a good addition for bowel health.

Thank you for your comments after much consideration I have decided to go to a Gastroentemologist he wants me to take miralax for a while as well as senokot S to get things moving, also setting me up for a colonoscopy and the thing down the throat to rule out ulcers because of the pain I have in my sternum after I eat. Will keep you posted

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Generally diaphragmatic irritation can lead to frequent hiccups or even burps. Liver and gall bladder problems too can irritate the right diaphragm. Also electrolyte imbalance could be the cause. Hence get your serum electrolytes done.
The other reason could be due to esophageal reflux (GERD), where the food in your stomach is thrown up into your food pipe or esophagus. This also causes burning sensation or discomfort in the chest area. Another possibility is hiatal hernia, where a portion of stomach herniates into the chest cavity through the diaphragm.
It could also be due to gas. Take care!

You might try staying away from fried or fatty foods, coffee, spicy foods, onions tomatoes and high acid foods for a while to see if this helps you. I find if I do have fatty foods or chocolate or spicy foods I pay for it later that day or evening.
