Frequent Belching...unexplained...any ideas?

It always feels like I cannot take a deep breath in. All gastroenterologist test came back normal. I eas diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia in 2010 but i've had numerous xrays a MRIs and Cat scans done and none of the doctors see it again. If I lay in bed too long I start to cough and then I start belching alot. The stomach get slightly gassy and nauseated and then flatulence starts shortly afterwards and thats like ev r ry 30 seconds to a minute.

I've had excessive belching as one of my main symptoms and I had clear scopes, nothing on a barium swallow, CT was clear etc. but finally was diagnosed with a large sliding hiatus hernia and GERD when I had an esophageal manometry and pH study.

So I'd recommend that test if nothing else is showing up for you, for sure.

Medication helps with the belching somewhat but I don't think it's ever going to go away completely unless I have surgery at some point, and that's currently not an option.

I am a 54 year old male who has enjoyed exceptionally good health. The past few months, I've been putting up with occasional continual burping, which has been aggravating. The bouts happen only when I'm upright and awake, and never when I'm exercising at the gym. Fortunately, in my case the number one suspect is obvious - dark chocolate. I've been consuming an average of 3 500-calorie bars of 56% dark chocolate per week for the past 6 months or so. My first experiment is to eliminate all chocolate from my diet effective today, and see what happens over the next few weeks. I actually get a 'buzz' from eating dark chocolate (lasts about 3 hours), but the burping isn't worth it.

Hello to you all!

You don't know how much comfort i found on this forum to see that i am not alone on this burping hell. It has started for me last February. The first hell day started when i decided to take a probiotic that i took out of a capsule (stupid of me!!) and took the powder on a spoon with water. The capsule seemed to big to swallow but it was supposed to be swallowed... On that same night i started with a lot of cramping, gas, bloating and the feeling of being very full. The burping was the only was i got some relief. Since then my life change upside down.. iron deficiency detected and burping all the time. Made a colonoscopy, endoscopy , blood tests..everything normal and labelled as having functional dyspepsia. Taking Nexium and Domperidone ever since..but still burping (it got a little better after the medication). Found out also that i had the H. Pylori. Made the antibiotic treatment but still with the same symptoms (haven't been able to check if i eliminated it because i need to be 15 days off Nexium and haven't been able to do it yes). Any one has a clue how can just taking a probiotic makes my body explode in air? Could it be SIBO?.. Any help please??? I was also prescribe some anti depressive since i have been so anxious with all this..but i don't feel sad or depressed so haven't taken it yet.. hard to believe it is something created inside my head..
