Suggest Remedy For Excessive Belching Post A Meal
My 54 year old husband had a heart attack and two open heart surgeries @ 6 months ago. He is doing well medically, but throughout the day, and especially after meals, he has excessive belching/bowel discomfort/gas. His doctor does not seem concerned. I have altered his diet repeatedly but cannot find a common reason. Is there anything I can do to help him control this?

Hello,
Excessive belching after food may be due to air swallowing while eating or gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems or infections or altered gut flora etcetera.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Avoid dairy products. If symptoms not improved, please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
