Gas pain and belching Occurs almost every night

Posted by rachie88 @rachie88, 1 day ago

I occasionally have gas during the day and it’s alleviated with belching. Gross, I know. But I’ve been waking up anxious with gas pain that is only alleviated by belching and these episodes can happen from 15 to two hours. Right when I want to lay down and go to sleep my stomach wakes me up with pressure and the need to belch and my mind is anxious (guesing gas pressure is hitting a nerve causing anxiety) Any help greatly appreciated, boy do I miss sleep!

Have you been to a gastroenterologist? You may need some gi testing done? Have you tried anything for this? Gas x? Etc? Maalox? Mylanta?

That can happen to me if I eat the "wrong" foods. I would suggest tracking your food choices. Some of what you eat may not digest well. The other component could be stress. Since it doesn't seem to be constant, I do not expect it is the configuration of your digestive tract.

You might want to be tested for SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth).
