Belching

[Steel47]

My friend suffers with consistent belching before or after she eats.  She sits up for 2 hours after eating yet the belching continues.  Does not suffer with GERD.  The air just comes up from the chest. Was given Acid Reflux meds but this doent help.  I suggested Braggs vinegar and water..no relief.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Peppermint oil capsules with meals might help. I've also heard Turmeric disolved in warm water is benefitial.

If she is in no pain, I would suggest an anti-gas medication which is sold over the counter.  Chewing gum, hard candy, and eating too fast adds to this problem.  My husband has acid reflux and the only thing that helped him was Prilosec which is also over the counter.  None of the prescription meds worked for him.
