Extreme digestive discomfort

Heavy burping and feel heaviness.
I am not too active because of sedentary lifestyle or food habits have gas and burping.
Scared to be on antacids forever.

Is my anxiety levels to blame.
I feel burdened by anxiety or my gut is acting weird.

I never had too much burping in my life.
Feels yuck.....

Cilly,

Are you drinking anything carbonated? I find that causes the most burping.

Right now, I feel it's my digestive issues causing my anxiety, which in turn probably makes the digestive issues worse as you asked.

The fact your sedentary makes healthy eating that much more important. If you live in the states like I do, eating healthy isn't the easiest feat. 'Healthy' foods really aren't that healthy. Do you cook much? If you can cook, making changes will be easier for you.

There are seated exercises out there that might help make you less sedentary.

There are also some things you can do to help with what sounds like heartburn/reflux.
*Elevate the head of your bed six to eight inches
*Avoid bending over or reclining two to three hours after eating
*Avoid big meals
*Avoid fatty foods, peppermint, tomatoes, chocolate, alcohol
*Avoid eating late

The things I've listed above really are a pain, but it might make you feel better. This is how my diet SHOULD look even though it hasn't of late. I'm to have 30g of protein for breakfast and at least 20g for every other meal. Fiber should be included in very meal. Every meal should stay under 25g of carbohydrates (this excludes starchy vegetables [eat as much as you can]).

I hope I've helped in some way.

Cilly,

Great advice above! I just want to add my encouragement to take just a couple of small steps each day to get back to positive lifestyle/diet and exercise habits. This will go a long way in ensuring you feel your best...body and mind.

A simple food swap at each meal/snack...a short walk everyday. (increasing duration/speed as you are able) are These small decisions make a big impact over time.;)

With encouragement...you can do it!

All good responses and posts. Carbonated drinks made me burp a lot and made me these have short anxiety attacks. Carbonated drinks now to me are dangerous and I will never touch them. Tonic water is toxic water made with quinine which is used in south America to kill rats. The post about protein is the best for me. I have been there done that and was completely healthy until tonic water poisoned me. My advice is a couple of glasses a day of milk for protein and a glass of v8 vegetable juice which has celery beets spinach watercress tomatoes all super foods full of vitamins. If you stick with protein and vitamins you will always feel healthy. I would also buy some protein powder in a glass of warm milk WHAT A HEALTH RUSH.
