A member asked:

I am not able to burp and instead get gurgling originating from the upper epigastric region after eating. i also get distention and bloating. any help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heartburn: This sounds like heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux disease aka gerd). Try Zantac (ranitidine) twice a day or Prilosec daily. And then follow up with your doctor to make sure it's not something else like gastritis or the beginning of an ulcer.
