Hello, I have a problem. I have been
burping for 6 months. This is not just
the average burp or two after you drink a
soda. I burp for hours at a time, and it
gets very painful. It gets really bad
after I eat meat, dairy products and fried
food. Also I start to burp if I havent
eaten anything. My diet lately has
consisted of rice, soups, and dry cereal.
After I have been burping for at least an
hour I my abdomin gets swollen. It is
tender to the touch, the right side of my
chest gets shooting pressure like pain. I
can actually hear the gasses traveling up
my stomach and through my esophagus. I
have tried everything you can think of,
mylants, zantac 75, pepcid ac, tums, pepto
bismo, protonix, prevacid,and aciphex.
Nothing has helped. I still take the
protonix daily because I am afraid it will
get worse if I stop. I do not have
insurance,otherwise I would have gone to
see a doctor already. Do I have time to
wait until I get insurance,or do you think
that this is serious. I am not sure what
to do. Thank you-april

When do you think you will have
insurance?? It sounds like you may have
some sort of bacterial problem.. Maybe
something different. If you have no
other discomfort other than the burping,
it doesn't sound like it's an emergency..
But I wouldn't let it go on too long...
