Belching?

I 'm not sure if I have GERD. I very rarely will have heartburn or reflux and usually I can sip apple cider vinegar and it;s gone. However, for the last few months I will burp very deeply over and over. It feels like the air is coming from deep within my stomach, if that makes sense. I am not bloated though and don't have pain. The burps can be long and loud. Over and over and then it ends just as quick as it came on. It does happen a lot after laying down. I have ulcerative colitis but I am not sure if that's related. Does this sound like it could be GERD?

It's hard to tell, when was the last time you were at the doctor's? It might be time to schedule an appointment to discuss your concerns and give you a better idea what could be going on. Have you tried to really watch your food intake, no carbonation, spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, etc. It might be a case where you can pinpoint a trigger if you keep an food journal.

Good Luck, Sharon

Thanks! I do see my GI in two weeks. I am on a GF diet and don"t eat sugar or soda but I drink coffee with half & half which I think is part of the issue. Not sure if its the coffee or the cream but i think I need to do some experimenting to see if I can find out.
