Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I carefully read your question and understand your conecern.
Burping and taste in the mouth might both be related to acid reflux called Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is common in some patients and migh cause a lot of discomfort.
To help with GERD there are a few things that can be tried:
1. make sure you avoid food that might agravate it like fried food, spicy, junk food, fatty food, etc. Some patients might notice certain food making it worse and need to avoid them.
2. make sure you have frequent small meals like instead of having 3 big meals have 5- 6 small ones to reduce the chance of reflux.
3. Limit coffee and alcohol use, they might affect the reflux and make is worse.
4. if you are smoking, quiting it might be helpful and the smoke makes reflux symptoms worse.
5. Omeprazole 20-40 mg a day might help with symptoms if taken regularly
6. If no improvement with those please see a doctor.
I hope this is helpful and answers to your question but please feel free to write back if any more clarifications are needed.
Kind Regards,
