Aerophagia: May be gas from air. Try simethicone to break up the gas, eat lightly juices( apple, grape) white rice, try massaging the abdomen/ walking to move the air Also maalox may help relax the GI tract to pass gas. Avoid caffeine, alcohol smoking ,spicy foods. Not mentioned what you were drinking so may be associated gastritis try ranitidine f/u /w/ doc
