It's astounding, nearly 80 people have checked this and no one has come across this. That is, I asume that no one has come across this before.

Please help me help my girlfriend heledd.

The hospital still has no idea after several test, the specialist hasnt phoned to book an appointment after more than a fortnight.

Stupidity

Why don't you phone the specialist instead of waiting for him?

Have she ever been checked for gallstones? I am no specialist but i've been dealing with gallsotone problems for 3 years now. Her symptoms sounds very much like mine in the begining even now after having my gallbladder removed for two years, I still have the same problem. Now stones are developing in the common bile duct which blocks it off and I get the burping constantly and usually end up vomiting it back up. If she hasn't already she should ask her doctor to perform an ultrasound to see if she has gallstones? Hopefully, this could be of some help to you? Wish you luck!

I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago. Over the past few years I've had this same issue with food coming back up... I don't have the best diet but I can't believe that the type of food that I am eating is making this happen...it happens with most all food that I eat... I also have indigestion sometimes to the point of pain... it seems to me that something must be wrong... good luck! If you find anything out please post as I am still searching for my own answers.

Has she been back to the doctor since the gaviscon tablets aren't working? She needs to be her own health advocate. If it isn't working, go back to the doctor again and again and again. Some symptoms represent more that one issue so for a doctor to sort it out in one visit isn't always a reasonable request.

Sounds like he thought is might be an ulcer so he advised gaviscon. If her issue is in her gallbladder, the advise would be something different.

Does this happen all the time or only after certain foods? Is it worse when she drinks alcohol? Is it worse at night?

Not everyone replies to every post they read because they don't have any answers.

Maybe it is GERD? If she's had it for a long time, her esophagus could be very well be deteriorated a lot... in which case, it's not going to be hard for the food to come right back up. I've gotten food coming back up sometimes because of GERD.

To avoid this happening, if this is her problem, she needs something like Nexium or the "purple pill" to keep the reflux at bad and also REPAIR the damage to the esophagus, which other medications don't do. She should stay away from acidic foods and only eat very small and frequent meals rather than the traditional three meals a day.

I hope that helps out a little.

I agree. First thing I thought of was Acid Refux (Gerd).

I had the problem of burping after eating for years. Just recently I was diagnosed with LPR (laryngopharygeal Reflux) The syptom that made me finally go to the doctor was Laryngitis off and on for several months without a sore throat. I believe it just started out as GERD but worsened. This condition is where the lower and upper esopageal sphinctors don't close all the way allowing acid to come out of your stomach. Sometimes you feel like you have a constant lump in your throat and food comes back up. Although this is usually a condition of older people, I am only 38 and am one of the younger ones. It is worth possibly going to see an ENT specialist for some testing. I would also check out the gallbladder condition. Good luck in helping your friend.

Why don't you try a simple bowel cleanse. I used to have gas not only after eating but 24/7, constant bloating with sharp pains. After the food intake, I had a feeling like it was stuck and would move back up, not pleasant.

What also helped me a lot as a follow up to the cleanse is to stop eating dairy that I cannot boil. I boil milk, I eat cheese fondu, and I avoid milk products such as whip cream, milk cream, yogurt. Hope this helps.
