Question
I've been having this issue for the last 45 days with these excessive and weird burps, and there's a small pain just below my ribs. I've been taking rabcer20 morning and night for the past couple of days before eating, and it provides some relief, but these burps are still happening. On the first day, I even threw up at night shortly after eating. Any idea what's going on? It also feels like there's a little gas bubble just below my ribs, and I can't sit comfortably, especially after meals or even just drinking water. There's also a lot of bloating, and my stomach feels really full and heavy right after eating or drinking. Could it be anything related to my appendicitis surgery that I had when I was 16? I'm 28 years old and male. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend you try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) after meals to help relieve gas bloating. It's important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating large meals close to bedtime. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
