What Causes Persistent Belching And Blood In Stool?
Two separate problems associated.

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your problem of repeated burping seems to be due to gastroesophageal reflux. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take omeprazole once daily before breakfast. Alternatively you can continue to take ranitidine.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fibre intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
However, the passage of red blood in stool worries me. Colonic pathology needs to be ruled out and you need to visit a doctor for the same. The increased dietary fibers will help in dealing with colonic pathology.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.

Could be due to colitis
Detailed Answer:
The cause of blood in stool could be colitis or infection of the colon. Visiting a gastroenterologist should be helpful.
