Burping/belching
Discussion
Wonder if anyone has any tips on here.
Fmaily member is having some health issues which are basically taking over her life. In her 60's.
Last couple of months she has been burping a lot. And by that I mean once she gets going it can be constant for 10 minutes solid every few seconds. They are what I would describe as quite long burps rather than quick ones. It happens throughout the day. It obviously has a big impact on general living and also sleeping.
She has been to the Dr's and they did an endoscopy and found nothing wrong. I haven't been to the Dr's with her as a another family member has but basically they are saying she is 'eating too much air' (not sure what the medical diagnoses is) whatever that means and there doesn't seem to be anything else they can do. As far as I am aware she is on no specific medication.

One thing she does have is poor teeth - I think she needs dentures so maybe it is to do with not chewing enough.
Other forums have suggested more specific illnesses which are triggered by things like stress. She has started to have memory problems/dementia and does appear a bit more highly strung now so wonder if that is contributing.
ALos on the other hand her apetite is very poor nad its difficult to get her to eat at meal times so I wonder if she is eating enough (generally lost a lot of weight over the past year).
Any experiences?
