What Causes Belching After An Endoscopy?
I had an endoscopy today (along with a colonoscopy). Now I am belching a lot and experience heartburn/indigestion more than usual. Is it because I did not take my Prilosec today (which I ve been taking every day for about 9 years), or because of air being pumped into my stomach or both?

yup during procedure air has been enter into stomach so do it can easy visualize different area of gastrointestinal tract..so after procedure this air is culprit for causing bloating so don't worry it will resolve after two three days without any treatment for it
