What Causes Burps And Bowel Movements Post Intake Of Salmon Fish?
Made a pasta sauce from scrapings we gathered from a whole wild caught salmon which had been in the freezer for a while. It was well sautéed with onions, garlic, and sweet bell peppers and spices. Wife and I both began burping up the taste of the meal several hours after ingestion (the salmon bits had cooked up with an unusually strong fishy smell, but I’d masked it pretty well with spices and liquid smoke), and both of us had bowel movements prior to bedtime. I’ve since awakened to a second small BM and some burping (took a Tums tablet), and now I’m a bit flushed in the face and inordinately warm with a slightly distended belly. Food poisoning? Or what? Thanks

Hello. I feel you are having gastritis or acid peptic disease
You need to follow some lifestyle tips
1. Do not eat spicy food
2. Take medications for gastritis- pantop/omez/rantac
3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8am, small snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, small snack at 4pm and dinner at 8pm
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Do not smoke, take alcohol or tobacco and even excess of coffee and tea
6. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis
7. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day
8. Learn meditation techniques
9. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit
