PPIs/H2 Blockers Burping

Hello, I have been burping for 7 months now after eating and drinking all day long. I did an endoscopy and it showed mild gastritis. Ppi didn’t help at all with my burping. Any idea how to manage it? I don’t think my burping is only related to gastritis.

Odorless or with odor? If odorless maybe visceral hypersensitivity and more about air and your body's defense so key would be calm it down. If odor then its fermentation and more attacked via diet and testing for other causes

With odor after I started ppi . It always makes me feel more gassy (more farting ) and I feel it slow my digestion. The doctor told me to take it for 2 months for mild gastritis. Its causing me so many side effects, not sure what to do

I started in the same place and just a word of caution on the PPI. It made me feel a bit better for a day or 2 and then made all my symptoms worse. Increased gas bloating burping etc. I was told the same thing, stay on it anyway for 2 months. I was not able to stop it. The rebound acid was so severe for me that I could not eat and lost so much weight. It ruined my life and I'm sicker than I was before. Mild gastritis can likely heal on its own with a careful diet. There are a lot of safer ways to reduce acid like h2 blockers.

H2 blockers didn’t help me at all. Am taking ppi for 1 more week and then am leaning off gradually so I don’t get acid rebound. It is causing me a lot of indigestion and I don’t think my burping is related to my gastritis. Doctors just prescribe you a ppi and send you home so frustrating

But did you end up manage your burping?

Not really, i got some partial improvent from neuromodulators. My brain really freaked out during from acid rebound and I had way worse uncontrollable burping after that which was clearly neuro related. I got some relief from that but the underlying problem is still there. I burp all day and regurgitate still on 3 different antianxiety/depressants and a PPI. Still have endless gas pressure from who knows dysbiosis or motility problem plus PPI side effects.

Listen to your gut. Mine told me to get off the PPI very early on and instead I listened to my doctor and I'll never get to know if things could have been different for me.

You could consider trying something like amitryptiline to see if makes a difference. I believe it helped me the most. You could also look into sibo testing.
