Chronic Belching
Question:
I have been diagnosed with GERD and I belch constantly. At least once every 5 minutes and sometimes more often than that. I was put on Prilosec last week which seems to have alleviated any heartburn I used to have, but has caused an increase in my belching. My doctor says the belching is simply due to my GERD. Any ideas on why I might be belching more after Prilosec or why I belch so much in the first place? HELP! and Thanks! Matt

Response:
I am not sure what enzymes you refer to. Those naturally found in foods (in concentrations that are also naturally occurring) can be helpful. However some products you find in the health food stores can be downright dangerous (e.g. pancreatic enzymes, papaya extract, betaine hcl – many of these are also found in some of the vitamin complexes) . They can aggravate stomach, duodenal or esophageal ulcer. I think they should be avoided by anyone with GERD, regardless of any momentary benefits they may experience. P.S. I am not an MD, but I am speaking (unfortunately) from my experience, which was confirmed by a gastro specialist.

I have been suffering from heart-burn for quiet a long time. for the first time I tried relaxation technique about six month ago, and it was astonishing.
