Calico2000,
I must have missed your September inquiry and information.
Have you tried CBT yet?
I posted a couple days ago on this main thread a post titled “EXCITING UPDATE”. Be sure to read it. This is the first time in 12 + years that anything has had any effect whatsoever on my issues, and it is transformative for me. I am so hopeful that the change is permanent.
As mentioned in update post, I am actually going to try speech therapy specifically for supragastric air swallowing, starting in late March, to work on cutting down frequency even more than now. The nortriptylene appears to have cut frequency at least 50-75%, and severe burp/bloat/fart bouts to only one in 6 weeks now.
They suggested speech therapy and like cognitive therapy and the antidepressant.
I take low dose mirazapine 15 mg in afternoon.
I don’t have Supergastric Belching as all the gas in in my stomach and intestinal trac . It’s not starting in my esophagus like super gastric belching would .
It goes up my esophagus of course and comes out wet and nasty 🤢 tasting like stomach lining . 1000’s a day . Gut constantly churning too ( whether hungry or empty ).
It’s a real mess in this body .
I’m so weary of it all .
I have worked with 5 GI specialists, but nothing has worked. Only one appeared to take a real interest in me and this condition, I think others had mentioned much more serious things to deal with and burping disorder seemed like no big deal ( but it is!). A couple admitted on day one that chronic conditions/habits like thus for a 63-72 year old rarely can be helped by much of anything. All the alternative and western medicine care listed below has not been even slightly helpful. The drugs and therapies and tests and dieting seriously have had no effect whatsoever. This may not be life threatening, but seriously affects the quality of my life 24/7. If you are in a hurry, you can skip over my laundry list below, just know nothing has worked so far, and problem is likely not physiological.
Baclofen , Pregbalin , Antacids , prescription Prilosec for several months,
FODMAP diet 6, 2, 3 month periods, no positive or negative foods.
SIBO( borderline ) three times. antibiotics, natural supplements, slippery elm, homeopathic remedies, calcium- magnesium, tums for indigestion ( not very often)
Barium swallow test (showed slight leakage of epiglottis, and I cough when eating sometimes, usually due to spicy food)
Stomach emptying test ( fast, 20 minutes)
2017, 2021 endoscopies, not remarkable. Rules out celiac, ulcers
Allergy testing
Biofeedback to eliminate mouth breathing and learn diaphragmatic breathing through nose between speaking phrases. ( failed at this)
Acupuncture, visceral manipulation, homeopathic and naturopathic remedies. Slippery elm tea ( calmed uncomfortable stomach, maybe reduced gas in stomach and gut.)
Fiber supplement every day, about I-2 teaspoon works. I have diverticulitis in colon , no other colon issues.
I eat slowly and carefully, mindful of talking.
After many days of reading online on reputable sites including Mayo, to learn more about the anatomy, supragastric and gastric belching and intestinal gas, causes and conditions and treatments, I have read about several studies that found success with cognitive behavioral therapy and speech therapy, based on the conclusion/assumption that belching syndromes like mine that don’t have a physiological explanation are due to a learned or chosen behavior ( although probably mostly subconscious in my case). I don’t have much anxiety about anything in my life ( except belching !), and reading about CBT seems to only point to “anxiety “ disorders as a possible approach for eating related issue.
Does anyone have personal or clinical experience to share about belching, CBT, maybe hypnotherapy.? I would really appreciate hearing your story and lessons learned. Thanks so much!

How many burps a day? I have had the same burping problem for 7 years now. I've been to many GI specialist as well. I would love to hear more about the problem and see if it correlates with mine. I've done pretty much the same exact thing as you when it comes to medicine, GI, endscopy/colonoscopy.

To add more of my symptoms - I burp at least 100 times a day. It spikes more often when I eat certain foods, sometimes it even wakes me up when i sleep. The only relief i get is when i get up from bed to burp. I find myself burping a lot in the morning and night time. Doctor's told me they don't know what to do with me and i feel like i'm running out of options - it seriously does effect my daily life. Sometimes I have a bitter/sour taste in my mouth as well.

I have similar circumstances. Even a drink of water can end with a belch. I have eaten a bland diet my entire life.
All my GI tests have been inconclusive over the years too. I think there may be a genetic connection as my father had and my daughter has similar digestive issues. Like an extreme sensitivity that our GI systems didn't develop normally following birth. Idiopathic IBS is another diagnosis that I have been given. I just had an elective colon resection this week due to mild diverticulitis. Maybe this will help. Who knows?

Are you currently taking any meds for anything?? It sounds like you have an excess of stomach acid. Just enough extra to cause burping, not enough to show up on any tests. Have you tried acid-reducing products?

Good luck
i take a spoonful of baking soda in a glass of water. sometimes adding a tblsp of cider vinegar.
I continue to take 20mg famotidine nightly with some benefit. I have tried a few courses for 14 days of omeprazole.
