Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Your mint burping is secondary to mint flavored maalox. Due to the fact that you have an increase in bowel movement it can reflux and give you the mint taste. This can happen because the intestines are moving but digestion and absorption can be slow, so you still have the taste after 24 hrs.
I hope that my advise has been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. When you drink a mint flavor Maalox you can burp it and feel the mint taste up to 48 hrs after, mostly if you have a lot of gas and indigestion, it takes longer to clear it from the system. It is normal and will get better when you improve your digestive problem.
I recommend you to drink plenty of water and take the gas-x for 48 to 72 hours or until your indigestion improves.
I hope that my advise has been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
