Question 2

Accepted Answer

See answers: The usual cause of belching is a distended stomach caused by swallowed air and often related to gulping food, drinking too rapidly, anxiety, and carbonated beverages. Also, excessive production of gas by intestinal bacteria is a common cause of intermittent abdominal bloating and discomfort and often diet-related. Constipation, lactose intolerance, and irritable bowel syndrome also may cause.

Accepted Answer

Poor digestion: Gas and bloating can be due to issues of gallbladder and digestion. - sign of colon cancer, gas and bloating are late symptoms. An obstruction caused by a tumor could lead to bloating and the trapping of gas within the colon. If you have a family history of colon cancer, genetic polyp disorders or are concerned about your risk of colon cancer, talk to your doctor.

35yr.constant gas and burping.rumbling in stomach since a month.since 2 days i am feeling extremely tired.have had ibs issues&indigestion issues before as well.after eliminating wheat,i became fine.no pain,fever.fatigue is scaring me.is this ibs too?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess, but..: Since we don't digest the fiber we eat, intestinal bacteria will feed on it and make gas as a byproduct. Another reason could be lactose intolerance, in which one can't digest the lactose (milk sugar) she eats. Again, bacteria will feed on it. Drinking lactose-free milk and eating less fiber, should decrease gas. Intestinal infections, or using antibiotics, can also cause gas. Doctor can evaluate.

Question 7

hi ive got gallbladder stones,i keep getting a gallbladder attack,burping,gas,chest pain,back pain,stomach pain?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Consult an abdominal surgeon as it appears that you need a cholecystectomy in view of your diagnosis of gall stones with recurrent attacks. Avoid serious complications like perforated gall bladder and bile peritonitis. In the meantime avoid eating fried, fatty and greasy foods.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause. : At this point, it's safe to say that your symptoms are refractory to the PPI (Protonix and Dexilant). At this point, your "dyspepsia" deserves investigation with formal testing.

Question 9

have post-infectious dyspepsia after stomach bug. stomach burning resolved. stopped ppi after 12 weeks. now bloating and burping. what's the cause?

Accepted Answer

Possibly rebound: Hi Kiana,
Sorry to hear that you are feeling uncomfortable with the bloating and burping. Given the information you presented, it's likely that your symptoms are due to stopping the PPI abruptly. There is a known "rebound" effect that is well described here - http://wb.md/2ouI0m9 Things will likely go back to normal in a few weeks. Hope you feel better soon!

Question 10

feeling weak,nassaus, upper stomach pain in morning when i wake up and burning. burping a lot and passing lot of gas. being goiong and off for over a week. stool is tan colored.
just had good yearly blood work and good colonoscopy. have ge dr appt?

Accepted Answer

: I favor having a gastroscopy to investigate those symptoms if they persist and I'm happy that you're going to see a gastroenterologist. You could have inflammation of the stomach lining(gastritis), gastric or peptic ulcer or pancreatic pathology. In the meantime avoid alcohol,caffeine, aspirin,ibuprofen type meds,spicy&amp;greasy foods and take famotidine&amp;simethicone until you see the specialist.
