How do you control uncontrollable Burping and Belching?

What is SIBO?

This is what I have ( and you may too )??
I have 6 other diagnoses. The deep wet non stop belching is over 1000 x a day & night .
I’ve tried it all … everything. Nothing helps .
Ten years now . No SIBO or H/ pylori not celiac , had over 15 -20 tests and 6 th Gastro Dr .
It’s maddening!

@rozy288 any improvement over the past two years or so?🙏

No I am on my 11 th year . Getting worse & worse each passing year . More & more symptoms ( non stop all day ). 7 diagnosed chronic Digestive illnesses. Now Chronic Fatigue Syndrome too . Lots of insomnia on & off . Don’t leave house much anymore.
Can barely eat any food ( & cannot drink Ensure or anything like it). Have a new granddaughter but can barely see her ( now 3.5 months old ) being they are 2 hrs away . Too hard for me to Travel . I have more nausea and need to stay by bathroom 🚽 a lot .
It’s very depressing. Had many more tests last 2 years. Have my 5 th GI Dr last 1.5 years. They have exhausted all Rx ‘s years ago , all supplements, I take low dose anxiety & now antidepressant .
Thank you for asking .
I wish I could live my life . It’s just passing me by . I never get an hour off of my symptoms. That’s the worst part .

I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling- was praying you'd be healed. Is it possible that a traumatic event around 11 or so years ago could have triggered? is this happening while awake only or also waking you up in the middle of the night? Is one of your diagnosis' hiatal hernia, ? Have you ever had an adverse reaction to antibiotic- specifically Fluoroquinolones like Cipro? Praying for better news.

Nothing too traumatic happened. We made a move to NC ( which we wanted to do for a couple years) from Ohio where we lived 22 years. My kids were starting their own lives ( both went to 4 years colleges ) & moved to FL .
We lived in NC 6 years than my husband lost his job due to downsizing . We sold our home in NC and have lived in FL 2 hrs north of my kids ( both married now & 1 grandchild baby girl 3.5 months old now ).
Yes I have had small hiatal hernia 10 years, GERD , Gastritis , Diverticulosis, IBS-D or mixed , small benign polyps on gut lining , have run over 20 tests in 11 years. The deep wet belching is like 700 plus x a day , the non stop churning gut too .
I do sleep 💤 some not always good at all . My symptoms start like 6 am . I go to bed at 8 pm and fall asleep by 9:30 but wake many , many x a night .
I cannot tolerate food much in day at all . I’m having a lot of chronic fatigue last year .
No I haven’t been on Cipro or any antibiotics except Amoxicillin this past year after oral surgery like 5 weeks ago .
I’m unable to do much at all outside home 🏠.
I never get a day off from it .
I’m going to do another Barium Swallow soon .
I take low dose anti anxiety med when need be .
Also low dose anti depressant last 7 months .
Lots of Ultra Pepto & Gas X but neither really help me anymore.
My Dr’s are at a loss , tried everything.
Tks for caring .

Is it possible that you are swallowing air?? That could cause the burps, and no tests will prove it!

Have you kept a food diary to see if there are any food triggers? Or spend a week eating only very basic foods like rice and chicken and see if that alleviates the symptoms? I wish I could be more specific. I noticed an increase in my belching last year. This March I used a series of antibiotics for an infection that took a month to eliminate. During that time I took probiotics and Greek yoghurt. I also stopped eating sugar. My belching ramped down. My guess is that there was something bad happening in my microbiome and the antibiotics and supportive steps I took helped put things in better alignment. It was an accident in my case. Unless you get diagnosed with small intestine bacterial overgrowth no doctor is going to prescribe antibiotics, is my guess. But maybe you could make diet changes and see if anything helps while you are going thru the doctor route. Good luck

I have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) and a pancreas issue where proper enzymes are not produced. From this I get a lot of belching and overall gas and improper digestion. I take CREON for the digestive issue. When the gas gets bad, (I get a lot of belching then), I get a prescription of Xifaxan and Neomycin. (These 2 drugs basically just stay in the intestines and don’t affect the overall body). After I take the antibiotics for the 2 weeks, my gas goes away including the belching. I become normal. Then it is Probiotics and careful eating. Eventually, the gas comes back and the cycle repeats.

Does the belching occur less often in when you're in public? any cannabis use?

Praying for You🙏
