My husband had open heart surgery to replace a valve 3 1/2 months ago, he has had excessive belching since the surgery. His family physician just recommended he take gax-ex..this has not touched the gas. Now he is getting stomach aches along with the belching and burping. Any suggestions?

Hello,
His symptoms could be related to gastritis, probably caused by blood thinners. For this reason, I recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy. It is also necessary taking a pro-biotic, as this situation could also be caused by antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
