Can't get rid of burping after esophagectomy: What helps?

naoshapiro1,
Hi have been taking omeseprilole twice a day now for quite a while. It has stopped all acid reflux but I do have more gas so I've also tried taking gasex but I don't see much difference. I had chemo and radiation for cancer mass found in lower esophagus several years ago. The tumor is gone and scans have been clear. But I still have Barretts and the docs keep doing endoscopies and ablations about every 3 months. I have one coming up next week. Let me know if I can answer any questions?
Don

@dsh33782 I was treated for gas where the indication was that I had SIBO then I took Augmentin for 14 days and I no longer have gas. I had an esophagectomy and I assume you had one too, so I don't know how you could have Barrett's esophagus since within an esophagectomy they pull the stomach up. Perhaps you didn't have an esophagectomy my problem is that the omeprazole takes away bone in apparently the bone building medicine can cause bone cancer strokes and heart attack so I'm not going to take bone building medicine. I'll probably take reclast and then go to a PT place and work on building bone
