Brief Answer:
further evaluation required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If it is increased belching, then it may be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease or gastroparesis ( slow functioning of stomach) or aerophagia (air swallowing).

Increased flatulence is due to improper digestion or gut infection.

I would suggest that an upper GI endoscopy and a stool test be done to find the cause.
The treatment depends on the cause.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr.Ratnakar Kini
