I'm experiencing a lot of burping and I seem to get short of breath. When I take an antacid and the gas goes away, my breathlessness seems to improve. Could GERD or the excessive burping be causing this breathlessness? It's a bit worrying, and I'd love to understand what's going on.

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. What can I do to fix this issue?

To alleviate excessive gas, bloating, and discomfort, try avoiding trigger foods like batter-fried items, chicken, and hummus, and incorporate changes like eating smaller meals, chewing slowly, avoiding carbonated drinks, and staying hydrated, while considering over-the-counter remedies like simethicone, activated charcoal, or probiotics
