I have excessive, in my opinion, burping and also very gassy. When I "burp" it doesn't come up like a regular burp, it seems to just roll out. It feels weird, doesn't hurt or anything weird because it rolls out. I had my all ladder removed 1 1/2 years ago. As for the gas it just comes out, especially after I ear. I don!t feel like I need to pass gas it just happens. I am 65, weigh 150 lbs, I am diabetic and I takevOmeprzole DR 20mg once a day. I was following a lady one day and she was passing gas and she apologized and said that happens with old people. At hat time she was in her 60's and I was in my 30's. One last thing why are your stools sometimes long like a hot dog and sometimes like little pebbles? I guess I have given you your laugh for the day with the last question but I have been curious. Thank you.
