I've been dealing with some really bad-smelling burps since around 5 pm on 41317, and it's embarrassing how they clear the area. Plus, my mouth has this nasty taste. My stomach feels like it's full of gas even though I'm farting. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing excessive gas and foul-smelling burps. This could be due to various reasons such as indigestion, gastritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (500mg) to help with the gas and indigestion. Additionally, you can try simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with multiple stones in my gallbladder, and the biggest one measures 10.6 mm with another at 7.5 mm, along with some smaller ones. I recently had quite a bit of pain and got an ultrasound done. I'm curious to know if there are treatment options available that don't involve gallbladder removal. Is it possible to remove or dissolve just the stones?
If you have multiple gall bladder stones and abdominal pain surgery is recommended for removal of gall bladder itself as there might be a high chance to develop stones again in the future. Medical therapy can not dissolve stones but can only manage symptoms like pain and vomiting.
