burping

[yaoyao]

There were a lot of discussions from people with persistent burping in 2005. I have similar symptoms. I wonder any useful treatment/remedy was reported? Please help.  


This discussion is related to burping.

My mother has always had a burping problem but it seems to be getting worse as she ages. She definitely has some GI issues but she believes that Zocort causes indigestion which causes her to have episodes of uncontrollable burping. In addition to the burping she often experiences chest pains and a fluttering heartbeat. Has anyone else had similar experiences with Zocort?

i posted about this burping gassy bloatedness in march and i wanted to share something that i have experienced (by accident) recently.  i have been in phys therapy for my back problems since the 4th of may.. since that time i have slowly but surely been doing more physical activity.  i've struggled so much w/ my ibs and my back for the last couple of years that i found myself doing less and less physically.  i've always known in the back of my mind that it's all interrelated...now i know for certain.  i have noticed in the last 2(ish) weeks that my burping and gas has let up.  my bloating and abdominal discomfort has decreased markedly and my constipation is getting manageable.  this is quite a wake up call for me and i am so motivated to continue working out.  i hate working out!!!  BUT.  as i walk more and do more crunches...all of it getting better.  not healed completely but on my way!  give it some thought--try it out.

I have read the comments and I suffer the same issues.  I have upper right abdominal pain, burping, dizziness.  It also affects my breathing.  Stress makes it worse.  I have ulcerative colitis for which I take sulfasalazine.  From past experience, I can say that when stress gets the best of me, I get my colitis back.  As I age, it is getting harder to recover.  This all causes stress and make sit more difficult to get healthy.  I sit at a desk all day which probably des not help.  But I do get regular exercise.  I am trying different things with my diet.  I avoid dairy, alcohol and red meat.  But I can not get a consistent state of well being.  It is frustrating to me and my spouse.  The doctors can find nothing seriously wrong.  If I find a majic cure, I will post.  Otherwise, all I can say is look at what makes you stressed out and try and change how you look at it.  My commute was really getting to me along with global warming and the price of gas.   I will do my part but I will not get stressed out about everyone else doing their part.

I have dealt with the burping issue for over 10 years, been to Dr. had tests, tried meds, etc. no relief.  I kept researching until I came upon information about lactose intolerance.
Now, I had considered it before, but because symptoms didn't always follow immediately after consuming dairy, had dismissed it. The thing that jumped out at me though, was how the dairy sits in your stomach and can't be broken down because of a lack of the digestive enzyme needed to digest the dairy, so bacteria that are in your stomach begin to work on it, and give off gases as a result.  That  explained for me why sometimes I would simply get up in the morning and drink a cup of water, and then begin to burp and feel bloated.  After giving it a week with no dairy, and having no symptoms, (for the first time in YEARS), I was convinced.  I'm still learning what I can and can't tolerate, and sometimes a little now and then (with some supplements that can be bought over the counter,) doesn't bother me much, but I have learned that if I have dairy too often it really builds up to a bad "episode".  I am also looking into other "intolerances" as I occasionally still get problems, though I don't think I have consumed dairy.( But. I've also learned, it can hide in things you don't think about, so I have to watch my ingredient labels).  I am so happy to have at least gotten the relief I have gotten, I want to pass it on to anyone else it might help, so best wishes and don't give up!

Wow, I'm glad I'm not going crazy. I started burping about three months ago. At first it wasn't that bad but lately it's been worse. I can literally feel the gas sitting on my stomach. From the time I get up in the morning till I go to bed, I am burping but usually around sun down it would go crazy. I burp so much, it hurts to drink anything for my cotton mouth. Others times it scares me because a burp would come up but stop right at the top of my throat making it hard to breathe or even swallow it back down. I really don't want to go to the hospital especially since my mother just had her gall bladder removed.

Is there anything OTC that I can test and see if it will work for me?
