Hello. : Hello.   Here are some possible causes for burping/ belching. Swallowing air while eating, gastropareris (stomach is paralyzed), drinking carbonated beverages, hiatal hernia, heliobacter pyloric infection of stomach, food intolerances and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (sibo). The best way to determine the cause is to be medically evaluated. So, if this is a chronic problem, especially since it keeps you up at night; would get it assessed.

Question 9

i have a belch reflux disorder. i cant burp, i have pain and bloating every time i eat unless i gag myself. do you know of any treatments?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenterologist: Don't force yourself to burp as this only causes more gas buildup. Drinking hot(not too hot) water breaks down gas and enables you to pass it rectally. Eating several smaller meals daily is better than large meals.Avoid oily foods.Taking simethicone after meals helps prevent gas buildup. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you if symptoms persist.

Question 10

i have a lot of belching/burping & often - but not always - with pain i the upper middle back - between shoulder blades & somtimes around my the top of my roght shoulder. pressure around the bottom front of my ribs.i have sjogren's syndrome?

Accepted Answer

: Possibilities include gas entrapment in the esophagus, GERD,esophageal motility disorder,or gallbladder pathology. To prevent gas, avoid gassy foods&amp;gassy beverages and take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals. Try not to make yourself belch excessively. If not improved,I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for evaluation,appropriate testing and advice.
