Continuous burping problem

by Rajan
(Bangalore, India)

For the last two months, I have been with continuous burping problem. After I eat food, I get the burping for every 15 minutes or 30 till one or two hours. I'm sure it is new problem I'm facing which I didn't experience till.

Initially I went to general physician who told me that it would be due to some level inflammation and he has given me some medication but nothing worked. Then, I went to doctor(gastric specialist) but doctor asked me to take the endoscopy. But, I'm scared to under go the procedure hence I thought of checking the issue after 1 month. But till then I have been troubled with this issue.

Do we have any other easy procedure instead of endoscopy to diagnose this issue? I want to get rid off this problem soon as it gives lots of irritation and panic about my digestive system.

Please direct me!

Regards,
Rajan

Hi Rajan,

I know how irritating continuous burping can be as I too used to suffer from it long back.

You have not mentioned your age and if you are or were experiencing any other digestive problems earlier.

Most of the digestive problems are caused by the wrong type of food or wrong eating habits. So observing your own foods and habits may help you find the problem yourself.

I have a few suggestions. You may try them for 8-10 days and see if it helps you. If the problem is because of the foods and eating habits, you will find relief with the following suggestions.

Must do--> Drink 2 glasses of warm water the first thing in the morning. You may have tea or coffee after 15 minutes (if you normally have it).

While having a meal,

Do not eat any fried and very spicy food for snacks or during any other meal for a week.

Eat slowly and do not do anything else while eating such as watching tv or reading. Enjoy food and pay attention to what you are eating, the texture, taste etc.

Chew food well.

Reduce the quantity of food that you are eating if you are overeating.

Eat bland or mildly spicy food.

Eat more raw vegetables in the form of salads.

Eat more fruits.

Do not drink water with food. Drink water 30 minutes before a meal or 30 minutes after a meal.

Burping may be a symptom caused by a variety of digestive problems. Going through the following pages may help you find out the cause of your own burping problem.

Constant Belching

Chronic Belching

Excessive Belching

Aerophagia

No cheating on giving up fried and spicy foods for a meal or a snack. Remember, I am watching.
