Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query recurrent acid reflux and belching mainly due to production of acid/ bile and accumulation of gas due to too much swallowed air, which cause releasing the air to reduce the distention of the stomach due to belching . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. You should take few preventive measures such as keep bed raised on bed side. Avoid large meal. You should atke small but frequent meals. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods as it will leads to excessive acid production. Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food. Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals. If symptoms keeps on persisting, visit Gastroenterologist once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Peanut could be the cause and apart from this fatty food is the major cause. Alka seltzer could quell this, Avoid taking stress. Avoid pulses, chocolates, fatty food from diet. Take pro-kinetics such as Domperidon. Your symptoms will resolve.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
