A member asked:

I've had burping (40 - 50 times a day) for about 6 months now. i'm concerned that it is an early sign of stomach cancer.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reflux: This is likely a sign of some sort of indigestion or reflux. You can try anti-acid such as Pepcid (famotidine) to see if symptoms get better. You should also consult with your doctor as you may need upper endoscopy for direct visualization of your stomach.
