Burping: What causes it and what helps treat it?

Posted by hopethereisnothing @hopethereisnothing, May 12, 2023

Did anyone have an experience with excessive burping ? What was the cause and did any treatment work with it ? and is it true that burping is a symptom of cancer ?

Frequent Burping and Prolonged Burps: What Could It Indicate?

Hi everyone,
I've been experiencing frequent burping throughout the day, and occasionally, my burps extend for about 2-3 seconds, almost sounding like a cry. It’s been happening quite regularly, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or knows what could be causing this?

Is this a symptom of any particular condition or disease that I should be aware of? Should I be concerned and seek medical advice? I appreciate any insights or personal experiences you can share.

Thanks in advance!

Have you talked to your doctor about the burping? Has it been happening for a prolonged period of time?

Thank you for the information. Regarding your question, I haven't spoken to my doctor about it yet, but I do plan to. The burping has been happening for a while now. Initially, I was comfortable with it, but recently the nature of the burping has changed, so I'm seeking some advice.

I have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency which was being successfully with Zenpep. I developed terrible burping in June of this year that was way worse than anything I’ve ever had. The burps had a yeasty taste and were so constant that I was exhausted. I took pepto bismal for them and it helped some. The dr suggested that I might have developed SIBO with an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. He prescribed a 2 week dose of Xifaxan. It WORKED!!!! The burping went away within a few days. Actually it was manageable after one day on the meds. I’ve had no return of symptoms in the month since I was on it. The dr said I might need another course of the rx in the future if it comes back.
