Brief Answer:
Disturbed gastro intestinal flora.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM.
Most likely your problem is because of depletion of G.I.T flora.Our gut consists of its own flora of micro organism which are responsible for proper digestion of food,Usually due to age,improper fooding habits and a number of factors the flora gets depleted and hence causing problems with digestion.I would suggest you to go for few investigations like stool routine and microscopy to rule out any bacterial infection.Ask your gastroentrologist to prescribe you with probiotic medications for few days along with it proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole can be taken for a few days to provide symptomatic relief in burping.Once the flora is restored you will feel much better.
Along with it Some general measures which will help you more are
Follow a High fiber diet.
Take lots of yogurt in food.
Avoid any fast food for few weeks
No fried food or spicy food.
Don't drink juices of citric fruits like orange,It may increase acidity.
Take 2tsf isapghullu husk once daily while going to bed.
Thanks.
