Should I Continue With Probiotics To Cure Burping?
I took Theraflu and it worked great for getting over the fever etc. but I then had very sick stomach and constipation and burping all the time. Finally into 4th week I m over the sick stomach but still burp all the time whether I eat anything or not. I m taking a lot of probiotics to try and rebus my intestines and get them healthy. should I continue with probiotics? What could be the cause of my burping all the time?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It is possible that your burping could be due to gastritis. Anti acids such as ranitidine or pantoprazole could be useful to control the acidity. You may take a course of ranitidine 150mg twice a day over next 3-4 weeks and eat a bland food during this period. You have already tried probiotics for long and now you may discontinue taking pro-biotics.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
