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've been feeling this fluttering sensation in my left mid-stomach area for about a day now, and I'm just wondering if it's something I should be concerned about. Should I make a trip to the doctor, or is this something that might just go away on its own?
Fluttering sensations in the stomach can be unsettling. While it's often not a cause for concern, it's always best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Digestive issues_: Gas, bloating, or digestive enzyme deficiencies can cause fluttering sensations. 2. _Anxiety or stress_: Stress and anxiety can manifest physically, including stomach sensations. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can cause stomach sensations. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: In rare cases, fluttering sensations can be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). _Next Steps_ 1. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of when the fluttering occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help with digestion and reduce symptoms. 3. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

I'm a mom to a 23-day-old baby and was diagnosed with gallbladder stones during my 8th month of pregnancy. Today I'm feeling pain in my upper abdomen again. The stone size is 9mm. Is it safe for me to take drotin tablets right now? I can't consider surgery at this stage with such a small baby
Drotin is generally safe post-pregnancy but consult your OB; manage diet and hydration, and avoid surgery if pain is mild.

I'm going through some digestive issues and could really use your advice. My bowel movements aren't regular, but when they are, they're pretty loose. I've been taking medication, and that seems to help with the consistency, but then I get these gas problems. Interestingly, these gas issues seem to ease up after I've had a bowel movement. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be some side effect of the medication, or is there something else at play here?
-It sounds like you're experiencing irregular bowel movements, with loose stools when your digestion is regular and gas buildup. It's good that the medication helps with this, but the gas issue seems to clear up after using the restroom. You might want to
