A member asked:

Im 56.. male. i have been belching & burping on & on lately. seems like it will never stop. is this acidity or gastritis problem ? or could it be worse ? any thing i can do to stop this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may be related to anxiety with air being swallowed. It may also have to do with your diet or what you drink. Is it possible you are drinking soda rather than water? You are having gas in your stomach is the primary problem, what is causing it is what it is difficult for me to speculate on.

I took PPIs for chronic gastritis for a very long time and stopped about 4 months ago as symptoms were not there any more. Lately, I noticed that I burp a lot all day long. Could this be linked to chronic gastritis that I had?
