How do you control uncontrollable Burping and Belching?

Posted by jammins @jammins, Dec 8, 2018

Anyone experiencing uncontrollable burping and/or belching? This seem to be a rear condition that no GI exam air specialist has been able to find a cause and subsequently a solution. Any help from someone with the experience would be greatly appreciated.

Another thing to consider is gastroparesis. It can cause realy bad belching. Do you have bloating and belching especially after eating harder to digest foods like high fiber and red meat?

My research indicates that there are two types of gastroparesis; diabetic and idiopathic. My sister has gastroparesis and has had IDDM for 55 years. I have Parkinson's Disease x 9 years and believe I may have idiopathic (no known cause) gastroparesis. I suffer from bloating and pain after small amounts of food and water. I wonder if this could be a non-motor symptom of PD? Even small amounts of water make me very uncomfortable and difficult to belch. However, I do not get nauseous or vomit. Any suggestions?

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

Praying for You🙏

No I tried gummies a couple yrs ago w/ THC in them . Hated it , they were too strong .
I do take a sleep gummy w/ 1 mg THC / CBD / Lavender/ chamomile/ valtarian int sometimes .
It happens if I’m outside house 🏡 too . I don’t go too many places though anymore.
It’s worse laying down but I’m so fatigued so much from not eating much .
We are on 2 hr car ride home from daughters & family and I’ve deep wet belched over 300 x in car .
I’m very exhausted and hungry but nausea is bad .

It may be SIBO which many doctors don't have the knowledge or experience in diagnosing or treating- have You tried all liquid diet to help eliminate bad bacteria if present? They feed off carbs and sugar. Elemental diet could be worth a shot, its fairly expensive and it can take 3-4 weeks of starving those bugs to get a bit of relief. Also could be fungal- candida?

I asked GI Dr. to order the bloodwork for Candida , even gave her the codes for each test . She doesn’t do that and even if she did she said she would not know what to do w/ results because most Yeast ( Candida ) infections are in woman’s Vag or Thrush in mouth ( I don’t have either symptoms of those ). I def think it could be in gut though !

I’ve been tests many times for SIBO through the years. Also Long H Pylori Breath test .
All were negative as was 5 hr gastric emptying study years ago .
I’ve had 3-4 Endoscopy & colonoscopy’s last 11 yrs . Last one was a year ago w/ biopsies.
Upper GI series , Cscans w/ contrast , Endo flip , MRI .
Saw FM Dr. Did elimination diets . Did food allergy testing .
I did have inflammation which was found after 12 viles of extensive blood test from FM Dr.
Tried Keto , & diff supplements again .

So we know what I have , but no RX or supplements have helped or pre - pro biotics and digestive enzymes. Only did liquid diet when doing colonoscopy preps .
I eat small , & hate eating period .
The GERD , Gastritis, Small hiatal hernia, diverticulosis all over colon , 700 plus deep wet belching , IBS-M , Esophagitis, non stop churning gut , fatigue, nausea is all just ruining my life . I can’t function like a normal person and do much outside the home or yard.
I even tried hypno therapy 3 x . It didn’t work !! I can’t be hypnotized 😵‍💫!
I talk my NP physc & have rx for anxiety med ( lowest dose , & lowest dose anti depressant ( last 7 months ).
I just cannot get 1 day off of symptoms.
We don’t eat out , or take in only healthy dinner at home 5:30 pm .
My main meal.
It’s so overwhelming & depressing . I try but it’s honestly killing me slowly .
