Excessive belching: What's wrong? What helps?

Posted by kenbirds1 @kenbirds1, Mar 21, 2023

Excessive belching better when lying down. Starts again when I get up. What's wrong and what helps.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

Saw a surgeon about that but , since you can’t really Belch after that surgery it’s off the table for me . I have way way too much gas built up inside me to jr be able to expel it in the hundreds of burps .
There is no way I can keep it inside my body . My intestines also carry so much gas too .
I’m on a 10 yr journey, as long as my heart ♥️ palps stay at bay I can live w/ this . It’s horrible and very stressful and overwhelming but it’s my life .
I haven’t given up yet .
Thank you 🙏

Hello Rosy, I'm so study about heading what you're going through, I had gastritis, gerd, barrets esophagus, suggests clearing my throat and always felt something stuck in my throat, hernia, belching hundreds of times and I went to see Dr Darido in Houston, he told me I had to do a nissen fundoplication surgery and he scheduled it within 2 weeks, recovery was very tough, but after almost 8 weeks I feel great! No more pain, no more acid reflux, no more belching, even though it took a while but I'm finally feeling great! Do a research and don't give up! You just need to go to the right doctor, contact me if you want more information, best of luck!

Get your gallbladder checked. It’s a common symptom of gallbladder problems. Blood tests to check your liver enzymes which are often high if you a gallbladder problem .

Have you seen gastro doctor? They can give you medicine. How about ginger ale or coke?

I have not started taking it and don't think I will. I do not believe my belching is anxiety or stress relayed.

Did you have a nissen fundoplication surgery? If so, how long ago? I had that 2 and a half months ago and after the surgery I had excessive belching and it was horrible but like some 6 or 7 weeks after it got better and now it's normal, best of luck!
