I've been dealing with really frequent farts and burps over the past 6 months. After I eat, my belly gets bloated and it's super uncomfortable. I end up burping around 20 to 30 times and have about 40 to 50 farts, which is really annoying. I've noticed that when I eat batter-fried stuff, chicken, or hummus, it seems to get worse.
