I'm dealing with a really frustrating issue of constant burping and belching for about 5 months now. It's gotten so bad that I can have 30 to 40 burps in just one minute sometimes. It's not something I can ignore anymore like before. Ive consulted the same doctor twice recently, and they said it's nothing to worry about and suggested doing regular exercise for better digestion. They also gave me some Diclofenac Sodium 100mg. Can you help me figure out what else I should do or if there's anything I should really be concerned about?

Frequent burping can be frustrating, and while your doctor recommends regular exercise for digestion, it's important to consider other potential causes like acid reflux or digestive issues. If the medication hasn't helped, it might be worth seeking a second opinion or exploring options like dietary adjustments or further tests to pinpoint the cause.

View allI'm recovering from jaundice and I've been really strict with my diet for the past month. But I'm still getting mild fevers at night and that nauseous feeling keeps coming back. My test results seem normal with bilirubin at 0.7, SGOT at 90, and SGPT at 65. I'm currently taking Liv 52, Ulsys 300, and Nirocil syrup. Could you help me understand why I'm still feeling this way?

I'm really worried about having stones in my stomach. Can you tell me what could be causing this to happen? And if someone has this issue, are there specific foods they should eat or avoid? I'm also curious if it's okay to eat cucumbers or tomatoes. I'd really appreciate your advice on this.
Stomach stones, also known as gastroliths, typically form due to accumulation of calcium salts, bile, and other substances, often caused by factors like excessive gastric acid, bile reflux, or dietary habits; to manage stomach stones, it's recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which can irritate the stomach and worsen symptoms.

I recently had a general blood test, and most of my results look good. However, I'm a bit worried as my ALANINE TRANSAMINASE (SGPT) level is at 56.2 UI. Is this something I should be concerned about, or do you have any advice on what I should do next?
It's understandable to feel concerned, but an SGPT level of 56.2 UI is slightly elevated and may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation, especially if there are any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort, to rule out liver-related conditions.
