How do you control uncontrollable Burping and Belching?
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.

How do I get rid of bloating and burping?
Hi @farani46, welcome.
Farani, is this something new for you or has it been going on for some time? What has your doctor suggested?

2 ReactionsWell it’s been 6 months since Mayo Clinic 3 night visit ( stayed at VRBO 15 min away w/ out pups on Jacksonville Bch). Had 3 more tests re done ✅, still same 6 diagnoses and Dr. Still doesn’t know how to help me . 4 k out of our pocket later , back to square one ☝️.
8 long chronic horrendous years dealing w/ these 2000 plus deep belches a day/ non stop churning gut , fatigue, sometimes kicks my heart palpitations up ⬆️. I’m still looking into other holistic ways to go . I’ve done so many already .
May functional medicine Dr. Next , MFR therapy, I don’t know. Insurance will only pay for chiropractic help , I may try that just for the hr k of it !!
My two kiddos are getting married w/ big weddings in Apr 2022 and Sept 2022 . I’m so anxious about the long weekend and weddings .

Wayne, you mentioned that you had a colonoscopy? Have you discussed the results with your doctor?

2 ReactionsMy "guts" (gas, bloating, jags of belching) improved
after I had my gall bladder removed.
Less fat and more fiber in my diet also helps a lot. Less fat really seems to help me a lot.
When my guts get out of sorts, IB Guard, an OTC pill, helps . Simethicone pills and probiotics help, too.
My grandmom's solutions for gas, heartburn, belching: slowly sip a tall glass of warm water. The water has to be warm and you have to drink slowly. A hot water bottle can relieve abdominal discomfort. Don't fill it too much or it will get too heavy for comfort.
Hope these ideas help! Hope you all get some relief!

1 ReactionOh brother , I could honestly write a book on my 10 years of thousands of deep wet ( gastric lining tasting ) belches that come out of me day and night . The non stop 🛑 churning gut and intestines. The way I can’t eat anything ( I eat so very clean ) w/o hours of suffering .
When I tell you , I’ve had 6 Gastro Dr’s , over 20 tests , even at Mayo .. 6 diagnoses… including Gastritis, esophagitis , Class B GERD , Bile Reflux, IBS , small hiatal hernia, small benign polyps on my stomach lining.
And non stop gastric deep belching . I’m sure I’ve forgotten some .
No RX , no herbal remedies, no holistic approaches, ( I’ve been good allergy tested 2 x , no food allergies), elimination diets , everything they make for gastrointestinal health on Amazon . Nothing helps .
I don’t drink any milk 🥛 for years and low dairy , low low sugar , we cook healthy meals at home .
I rarely can go eat a meal at a restaurant. No fast food , no fried food .
It’s ruined my life ….
10 years of it .
I never get one day off from symptoms .
I walk 1.5 -2 miles a day .
I’m usually very fatigued in day because lack of sleep from it.
I sleep propped up on 3 pillows .
Just had extensive bloodwork done from the new functional medical doctor , urine and stool . Also Abdominal ultrasound again yest .
No one so far can figure this medical mystery out .
Really changes your whole life .
I’m praying 🙏 they can actually find what’s wrong besides what they know , and help me get some relief and healing.
I hope you find the same .

4 ReactionsI have also had terrible benching and burping for 1-2 hours after I eat for many years. I also have diarrhea for weeks at a time of my system gets upset. I have been diagnosed with IBS and had a positive breath test (twice) for SIBO. My GI doc doesn’t think I have SIBO - says the breath tests are unreliable. He says the burping is from swallowing air when I eat. He has me on Nortryptaline for diahhrea , which is helping with that. The belching still continues and is uncomfortable and at night I have to wait for it to stop before I can lay down to sleep. I have tried meds and otc for acid and gas. Nothing has worked. I also feel like I can’t go out to eat without discomfort and possible diarrhea.

3 ReactionsI have gas every morning now, and constant belching the rest of the day. Gastro says it's from my Esophageal Junction Outflow Obstruction (EGJOO) combined with my severe GERD.
