Hello!

Thank you for the query.

First of all you should have gastroscopy done to see if the ulcer has healed and if there is no cancer. Please note that chronic esophagus inflammation and smoking are the risk factors of esophageal cancer.
Burping problem and chest burning can be both caused by esophagus or stomach issues.
Constipation can be caused by other things like bad diet (low fiber intake), chronic bacterial infection, hypothyroidism, medicines (ca-blockers, antidepressants).
I suggest you to improve your diet first and see if it will help. Please increase fiber rich products and mineral water intake. Start probiotic supplementation. If it wont help, you should consult your doctor and have blood work, thyroid tests and stool tests. Next should be colonoscopy.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
