Hi, I have GERD and IBS and have had ulcers. Lately when I eat I start belching. Is there anything I can take? Sometimes it is quite embarrassing. Thanks

Hi, thank you. I talked to my dr about this today and he said "Everybody belchs." I said"But after just one little drink of water?" He gave me some medicine Reglan I think. I didn't have time to get it filled today. If it doesn't help, I have to call him.
I will definitely check out that link. Thank you.
Hello Pentin!
I also have GERD and IBS and a hiatal hernia and they saw erosive esophagitis on my endoscopy and I know how annoying the belching can be. It's awful and I burp worse than my husband! I don't have any great ideas but I have had some luck sometimes with GasX. And sometimes when I'm so uncomfortable I have my husband pat me on the back (like you burp a baby) to help get it out.
Are you following a GERD diet? And do you watch what you eat fo your ibs? I do and it has helped get rid of some of my worse pain and symptoms but sometimes it is no help.
One warning: Before you take the Reglan, please read all about it. It has some very powerful side effects. My GI doc gave me a prescription foe it in November and I did not fill it. He told me that he only had 2 patients that ever experienced them but he had to warn me. I then looked it up and read some other message boards and decided not to try it.
Hope you get some relief!
Hey Pentin,
You are not alone!
I don't smoke, chew gum , eat hard candy or drink beer. I don't drink much soda but I do often use a straw. I have some Beano and papaya enzyme on hand so I can try those right away.
