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 .
I have had excessive belching for about 5 yrs now. It's not always to the same degree though. I was pretty good all summer but now it has flared up again were I am belching approx 200 times a day. It seems to be better when lying down but as soon as I get up I belch. Any suggestions on what is wrong exactly
I had a hiatal hernia (large!) corrected by surgery and it stopped all belching, pain, and inability to eat certain foods.
There are many causes so diagnosis is important.

I am very similar , 6 years , many tests , nothing shows up , restrictions of many foods , burping every few seconds at times , laying down on my back with legs at 90 deg angle up a wall and breathing into diaphragm, is the only thing i have found that helps also …
I started with a cough about 4 months ago nose running etc. I thought I just had seasonal allergies I got a nasal spray from my doctor and went on my merry way I then caught Covid and was extremely sick for 2 weeks since then I’ve been living a nightmare. I’ve had bouts of coughing so bad I would lose my breath I went back to my doctor and was told nothing could be done it was viral I suffered for 2 more months and started burping a lot. Still had nose running and bouts of coughing I haven’t slept much these past few months I also take valsartin for high blood pressure. I started taking an inhaler which did nothing took steroids as well nothing still had the same symptoms next I started taking gas x and then Pepcid nothing helped it came to a point I had a tightness in my chest and my pressure skyrocketed I went to emergency they tested me found out my heart was fine told them my symptoms they gave me propantizole I took it for 5 days was great my coughing even got better on the sixth day the bitter taste came it’s so bad that I cannot sleep or eat I’m so exhausted I don’t know what to do they switched my meds twice but like the first drug they give a horrible taste in my mouth I’m at my wits end I’m suffering to a point now that I’m ready to just quit living I’m 66 and tired, depressed and angry I just don’t know what to do

2 ReactionsExcessive burping could be a sign of SIBO. You should go see your GI doctor and ask about testing. It needs to be treated with antibiotics.

1 Reaction@rch6657, I'm sorry to hear that excessive belching and other symptoms are taking you to your wit's end. I moved your post to this existing discussion:

As @christyann715, seeing a GI specialist might be a good next step. GI issues post COVID are not uncommon.

1 ReactionBitter taste could be acid reflux but some of your symptoms remind me of mine..in my case it was my esophagus..
And did you find a cure for your issue?
They dilated my esophagus that fixed the problem.
