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.

You need to take your child to see a gastro doctor for acid reflux diseases and if the burping/wheezing persist then she might have a congestive heart failure (CHF).  Either way this is a serious problem so go get it check out.  And watch out for doctors who just want your money!   I have to changed 3 doctors to find out.  And all of mine doctors work at the hospitals!

STOP FEEDING YOUR CHILD WHITE BREAD (BLEACH FLOUR/GLUTEN)

My granddaughter who is eight has not been able to attend school since August. She has belly pain and burping and spiting like no body's business. She doesn't sleep half of the night due to this. We are besides ourselves we don't know what to do. If anyone has a child that has had this problem and has help please e-mail me at ***@****,

If you like garlic, then eat more of it.  If not then eat what you can.  The smart water has electrolyte (its more effective then drinking powerade, to me) which will help your body recoup from dehydration/fatigue.  

These are the foods I eat:

rotisserie chicken, grill fish (no skins), fry fish (no skin), steam fish, green beans, corn, mash potatoe (no gravy), oatmeal (apple cinnamon), apple sauce, jello (plain), arby's roast beef (no breads, just the beef), vetgetable soups ("victory with vegetable!"), banana, coconut milk, steam chicken, vitamins water, probiotic yogurt, steak (without the a1 or tobasco), okra, tomatoes (small amount), orange juice (small amount) etc...

Foods that gave me bloating to painful attacks:

carbonated drinks, beef jerky, mushrooms, chocolates, crackers, sunflower seeds, soy sauce, chese, bread.

People told me this method takes about 6 months or longer for the stomach to cure itself (to build up the normal flora).   Then you can go back to eat normal foods again.

Interesting! and congratulations!

What are the ingredients in the glaceau water?

I was recently following a thread about fructose malabsorption ( look for posts by "boron") and have been leaving off foods with alot of fructose such as fruit (which we think is GOOD for us), and just sweets in general ( I have a sweet tooth a mile long), and I have had much less problems.  I did however try some nuts one day and IMMEDIATELY began the belching.  I posted previously when I thought I'd found a "cure" in leaving lactose products out of my diet, but now I wonder if it is more about the sugar in the ice cream, yogurt, and other dairies that bother me most.  

any reason why raw garlic?

Get this:  as a result of some of the stuff  I read on the fructose malabsorption, I wanted to see if I could get the "hydrogen breath tests" they suggested when I have my upcoming gastroenterologist appt.  The nurse I spoke with said she had never even heard of the tests?  I broke down and made the appt. because of a recent really bad bout I had, but after reading these posts again, I wonder if  there's any real help to be found with these doctors?

Please keep us posted on your progress/success!

AFTER 9 MONTHS OF ACID REFLUX, INDIGESTIONS, BURPINGS....



I AM CURED, NATURALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ON MY OWN)

STEP 1) Stop taking all the meds

STEP 2) Follow this diet:

Foods to Avoid

Aged cheeses, alcohol, chocolate, dried fruits, fresh fruits (I eat small amount during day time), fermented foods, soy sauce, mushrooms, vinegar, glutenous foods (wheat, rye, oats, barley), all sugars, honeys and syrups (that includes any ‘ose’, like lactose, sucrose etc), and foods that contain yeast or mold (breads, muffins, cakes, baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, melons, peanuts - although nutritional and brewer’s yeasts are not harmful, as they do not colonize in the intestines).

Foods to Eat

Vegetables (including plenty of raw garlic), protein foods (beef, chicken, eggs, fish), live yogurt cultures (both dairy and non-dairy,) FOS*, whey, acidophilus, green algae (such as spirulina and chlorella), nuts, seeds and oils, and non-glutenous grains (like millet, rice, rice bran and oat bran).  TRY TO EAT FISH AND COOKED VEGETABLE FOR DINNER.


AND STEP 3:

DRINK glacéau SMART WATER (AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, I STARTED OFF WITH 6 BOTTLES A DAY, NOW I AM DOWN TO 1) BUT IT MAKE ME GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!  (YOU CAN GET THIS WATER FROM TARGET, WALMART)

I though I was a gonner until I went on vacation and stumbled upon this water!!!

AND LIKE  Sabrinaburpsalot I HAVE AN ENDOSCOPIC SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK, BUT I CANCELLED.

Hi Group,

I am so thankful to have found this post. The last 3 years have been a roller coaster of miserable burpiness that it seems only you guys understand. My issues started towards the end of my 2nd pregnancy when I felt like I couldn't breathe and thought it was asthma related. My doctor assumed it was due to my weight gain and the baby resting on my lungs. I will also state that I was very sick with nausea during both my pregnancy's which led me here as well.

After my son was born in 2006, I had an upper endoscopy done and they found a small hiatal hernia and they diagnosed me with GERD and I was put on Protonix. Initially it seemed to work but as with most things, the medicine became less effective after about a year. I was then moved to 40mg Zegerid which was increased to 2x daily about 12 months ago. For about the last year the Zegerid has only been working about 25% of the time. My biggest issue like most of you stated is that my main symptom is the excessive belching and here lately, I have a burning sensation in my throat, equal to where my neck is located, that comes and go's. I'm taking carafate 4x per day to coat the esophagus, which helps control the burning in my throat. I was recommended for Nissen fundoplication surgery (360 wrap) and was supposed to have it done yesterday 7/30/09.

I couldn't shake the fact that all this just didn't add up! So about 2 weeks ago I spoke to someone who had the surgery and after he explained his complications AND the fact that his symptoms were totally different from mine (I've never really had heartburn) I canceled the surgery...thank GOD! I am scheduled to meet with a Traditional Chinese Medicine Dr. and after reading hundreds of posts tonight, I am thinking it's related to either lactose intolerance or a small intestine issue or other suggestions to check out further. I think it's also important to note though that I did a manometry procedure (which was horrible) and it confirmed that I have an incompetent LES (lower esophageal sphincter) which I feel has been caused by this issue and I get canker sores in my mouth regularly as well (not sure if there's a link there or not).

I am going to the TCM Dr. on 8/12/09 for a full allergy test and acupuncture and I will post my findings after my 1st session. I have lifted the head of my bed, which has helped and started an elimination diet, which has helped. I then ate tacos for dinner tonight with cheese and sour cream and here it is 3:30AM and I'm still suffering with the burps...how stupid am I!!

Thanks to all of you for making me feel not so alone in this big frustrating world of burpiness! Please feel free to contact me or offer any suggestions! May God heal us all of this frustrating ailment!
