Question 1

i have very smelly burps and upper right quadrant pain. could this be related to suspected gall bladder problems. or any other suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Definitely possible: Increased flatulence, with the associated flatus and belching, and right upper quadrant pain are both symptoms of gall bladder disease, but not absolute.  If your symptoms are worse with fatty or greasy foods, and if you have some back pain and nausea, it would be quite probable this was gall bladder trouble.  Your primary physician could help make your diagnosis, and refer you if needed.

Question 2

why do my burps always taste so acidic?

Accepted Answer

GERD?: This could be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). If this is a chronic problem, recommend assessment by your physician.

Question 3

why am i having very bad tasting acid burps?

Accepted Answer

GERD: This sounds like gastric reflux into your esophagus,   it can be from an incompetent sphincter into the stomach but can also be related to diet with late eating, spicy foods and over eating.  You might consider adding an over the counter acid blocker like Omeprazole but if this is persistent check with your GI doctor for better control as chronic acid in the esophagus can be dangerous.

Question 4

i have been experiencing "cheerio" tasting burps lately, what is this ?

Accepted Answer

What is in stomach?: The taste of your "burps" is a function of the food in your stomach!  There is no particular significance to the "cheerio" taste.  I hope this helps! To Your Best Health, Dr Hodge
