Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Burping When Diagnosed With Gallstones?
I have just had a stent because of 90% blockage. One of my symptoms was major burping. Ultrasound found gallstones. Out of the hospital one day and I am still burping heavily. Can I avoid surgery to remove stones and how successful is the treatment. I am 82 years old.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Burping is commonest symptom of gall stones. So you are having symptomatic gallstones. And symptomatic gall stones need surgery. You can try medicines like antacid and anti emetic. Avoid fat and oil from diet. Take high fiber diet. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. If still burping is there then surgery is the only option. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
