Suggest Treatment For Burping, Gas And Nausea

default
Posted on Fri, 16 Jan 2015
Question: Every day i get burping, gas and some nausea. I had a gallstone removed in 2012 from duct as well as my g bladder removed. Seems that point of tenderness is still at spot on my back where stone was removed. Blood test shows only a slightly elevated bilirubin. Pressure on that point makes me feel like burping or even retching. Could i still have an issue w gallstones?

Other points. Often have urge for a bowel movement and get a feeling of bloating in stomach.

Brief Answer:
Gallstones less likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Since gallbladder has been already removed gallstones as the cause of pain is less likely. But there is a rare possibility of a residual stone in the bile duct that might cause the pain. It can be confirmed with an ultrasound/MRCP/EUS scans.
But since your symptoms are more of gas, burping and nausea, acid peptic disease is the likely cause. You can take PPI like omeprazole for relief. An upper GI endoscopy may be done to see if you have gastritis/ulcer.
If the urge to defecate and abdominal bloating are of recent onset, then stomach bug may be causing it. Stool analysis may be done. Probiotics may be taken.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.

i frequently have dry retching when i awaken in the morning - could be a result of being flat all night in bed. This has been causing me a lot of mental distress. Incidentally, my sister has been taking med for an acid condition.
