Could be: Doxycycline can be very irritating to stomachs in some people. Try taking it with some fruit or other snack & see if improves.

I just took an antibiotic for ureaplasma called doxycycline mono. After about 5-10 mins, I burped and it seemed like smoke (or gas? or stomach gas) came out. I am not sure if this has ever happened before, is it normal? Hasn't happened again since?
