General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Aciphex is the family of proton pump inhibitors. It would help to treat the symptoms of acid reflux, this includes bloating.

The aciphex would help to expel any air that is in the abdomen and prevent the bloating.

This is the reason that you may be having the burping with this medication.

I hope this helps
