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.

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!

No I haven’t had the surgery and won’t get it . I’m so happy you are doing better !

A possible cause to consider is bad bacteria in your intestines. Be sure to take a Soil Based Probiotic to battle this problem. Also Google “How to destroy bad bacteria in the gut”.

Thanks for the information. I will do that.

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!

Thanks but I heard you cannot belch at all after that surgery and I have so much gas build up not only in my gut but in my intestines and colon . Unfortunately most always comes up ( even though it so far down digestive trac ) as deep wet belching . I have to be able to get that out 700 -1500 x a day and night .
I did talk to a surgeon about it and he told me that you can’t burp ( also read if you are prone to throw up ( which I’m not ) you can’t do that either . That’s very dangerous as you can aspirate . I’m on sucraflate pills 💊 as if two days ago . I think it takes a couple weeks if it is going to help . I’ve tried it all . So glad you finally got healed . What a blessing.

Hello, I guess it just depends on the surgeon, I am able to burp and I still do after the surgery, as a matter of fact, the first week was excessive burps like 120 every day but now it's normal, my sister had that surgery 20 years ago, and at first she was not able to throw up but thank God nothing ever happened. Now over time, she is able to throw up if she needs to. Sucralfate is a great medicine, I took it for a long time and it stopped working. I hope you get a lot better and God bless 🙏🏻

If I was in Texas not FL , I’d go see your Dr.
Unfortunately that’s not an option for me .
I deep wet belch over 1000x day / night ( the worst being 5-8 am ) and Noon 🕛 til 3 pm .
Sometimes it’s over 2000x .
No acid but they are very deep non stop wet belches .
I am very careful w/ my diet for years and years and even did Keto and Gluten free which neither helped me .
I’ve given up on any Gastro Drs here in FL . I went to Mayo Clinic. Jacksonville , spent 4 k for 3 outpatient tests in 2021 and even that Dr had same 6 diagnosis but really couldn’t help me . It’s ongoing battle , plus it really makes me so fatigued because I don’t sleep 💤 well even taking Ambien.
I love hearing that people actually get better ❤️‍🩹. You are def one of the lucky 🍀 ones . Thanks …

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through, I just can't even imagine belching so many times 🥺🥺I thought 120 times was excessive, I'm not 100% since I'm constantly have to clear my throat and sometimes I feel something stuck in my throat so I hope it's just allergies but I have an appointment with the ENT tomorrow 🙏🏻, I know of someone that came from Florida to see my surgeon, Dr Elias Darido and it went really well but I really hope you find the cure 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I also suffer from excessive belching. I sound like a grown man. All of my drs tell me I'm sucking air from anxiety and stress and that I move my tongue alot. I've tried everthing I can think of. I stay tried from it and it itself causes stress.

Yes they always want to blame us for having anxiety or swallowing too much or taking in too much air . None of which is true .
I do get some anxiety from all of this , living w/ it for 10 years daily . Trying everything under the sun to help it . 6 Gastro Drs and still no relief 🥲. It truly does ruin day to day life .
I have .50 mg Klonopin I take as needed , if I get too stressed.
Who deep wet belches 1000 x a day . It’s so abnormal and triggers my PVCs sometimes. I take diff supplements through the years and tried diff RX’s . None worked . It causes so much fatigue too .
I’ll pray 🙏 that one day we will be healed .

I sent my friend in Texas that Drs info you went to . She lives in Belton , Texas.
What a coincidence.. she has had an appt w/ that Dr. Coming up in Jun (had to wait 6 months to get in )! He must be very good . I googled him and sent her that info . It’s so weird that she is going there too . I guess if you’re in Texas , he’s the guy to see .
