Reflux: It sounds like acid reflux (GERD). Try Prilosec. If it persists see a doctor.

Probably: Probably a combination of gastric reflux (causing the burping) and indigestion (contributing to the flatulence). Sometimes this can be exacerbated by sipping coffee or tea (swallowing air) or a newly developed intolerance to dairy for instance. You may benefit from a probiotic yogurt also . If this doesn't help, see your doctor!
