What Causes Belching, Excess Salivation And Abdominal Bloating?

Hi I've had an issue with excessive gas for the past week. I had loads of pain which has since stopped but I am burping excessively and have a lot of saliva especially this morning when I was working out. I didn't want to swallow it so I kept pausing to go spit. It kinda stopped after I ate but I was bloated later this evening and the burping wouldn't stop so I made myself throw up then it subsided. I noticed that if I eat slower it helps but I didn't eat slow tonight. Now I am burping not as much it it's still there. What can I do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from excessive intestinal gas formation as well as acid reflux..
Due to burping there is reflux of gas along with acid and there is irritation of throat with acid and there is excess salivation..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole, Omeprazole etc.
Antacids like Milk of magnesia can be advised..
You can be advised to take Simethicone to reduce intestinal gas..
Take short frequent meals..
Avoid fatty, spicy and heavy meals..
Drink plenty of water..
Take short walks after meals..
Do moderate workout..
Sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
