Dear Ask The Doctor: I get these burping episodes where i burp non stop for hours and can't control them. lately its been more frequently and after a few hrs i start coughing and sometimes throw up and then continue burping I have tried toms, gas x, and now I ordered HCL and Activator from quantum nutrition labs because a friend told me it would help but i took on hcl yesterday after eating and this morning at 3am which was over 9 hr after dinner i started burping none stop until nearly 12.
It seems that you may have reflux symptoms. Over-the-counter antacids are usually mild and may not help; in your case, you may need stronger antacids which may need a prescription. I would not know what Activator is, if it is a brand name of an antacid or what. Also, avoid coffee, pop or tea as much as possible as this will also increase the stomach’s acidity. You may need to consult a doctor and ask for stronger antacids to help the burping episodes and assess your condition completely. I do hope this helps. |
