What Causes Continuous Burping?

My Mom is diabetic for past 15 years. She is on insulin for past 5+ years. Now when we showed her to a diabetiacian he prescribed EXAPRIDE 5ml & DIAMICRON (2 times a day before food) & GLYCOMET (3 times a day after food).

She started with this medication from yesterday and to day she has been complaining of having conteneous burps for past 6 hours. Any idea if this is due to change in medication? What could be issue?

Dear sir/Madam
Welcome to HCM
Some people may have abdominal discomfort like your mom with metformin ( glycomet). It can be relieved by taking glycomet after meals. If this doesn't help a short course of antacids will give her relief.
