Brief Answer:
These are commonly documented side effects!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about increased burping. This is a known an recognized side effect of miralax. If it is bothering that much, you may want to go ahead and continue with metamucil only. If the symptoms are tolerable with no significant discomfort, I suggest that you continue with the same regimen.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
