Burping
I've searched and read a lot of posts on burping but couldn't find anything that applied to what I'm going through.
I burp all day long. When my stomach is empty, when I'm eating, when I'm drinking, when I'm sleeping, when I'm sitting, when I'm laying down. When I keep my mouth closed to sleep - I feel the air bubbling up.
Anyone else had this?
If it was only when I was drinking or eating I could understand but....
I've heard of this happening to quite a few people, actually. It usually subsides and gets better over time. Some possible causes that I've heard of are that it could be your vagus nerve being stimulated, it could be that you're swallowing a lot of air, it could be that since you're eating so little and mostly drinking that the juices in your stomach are "swirling about", and I've even heard of people going to the doctor about it and the doctor investigating for gallbladder problems. I hope it eases up.

I have the exact same thing!!! I burp constantly. Doesn't matter what I eat or drink & it doesn't subside if I eat slower. I am 18-months post. I asked the NUT about it at my check up last week; she suggested I keep a food log just to see if there is any connection at all to what I'm eating and although I'm doubtful, I will give it a try. It's not painful, just becoming annoying - except to my 2 boys, who go into spasms of giggles at the first sign of it. I don't see my surgeon again until the 2-year mark but she also suggested I go see him if it's problematic.
People with colostomy bags notice some foods cause more gas than others (because their bags swell up like balloons). You could google foods causing gas.
A lot of sweeteners cause gas, as well as fiber.
