Your title caught my attention. My burping has finally stopped, but the gas and blotting is awful. My husband may divorce me before it's all over. LOL. I am just a little thing, weigh about 105 lbs. No one would ever imagine the gas that is coming from me.

Any suggestions? I am on Protonix.

OMG Welcome to "My World" (unfortunately) I am in the middle of having many many tests. I feel absolutely fine in the morning when I wake up. As soon as I put ANYTHING in my stomach, within minutes, I get a right sides pain under my rib cage. Bloating........belching & a squeezing gnawing pain...sometimes feels like a heart beat in there. Goes to my shoulders & even sometimes down near kidney area. I get very very very itch and almost scratch my face and head to shreds. It calms down within a couple of hours. Fiber cereal will surely throw me into one of these attacks big time. Had a piece of cake at work with great icing, I thought I was going to die. If I eat an actual light meal, I will almost immediately start burping up "food" (I know....very disgusting) I have this every single day. I have lost about 10 lbs because I'm afraid to eat anything. If I eat and I induce vomiting, I can get rid of the pain. I have had an Endoscopy, cat scan, MRI/MRU & an Ultrasound....all of which came out perfectly normal. My blood tests show a slightly elevated amylase & hdl but that's about it. I'm ready to throw in the towel. I feel so poor that I it's scaring me. This has been going on for about 6 weeks now. I have a rash on the nape of my neck (don't know if this is part of it or not) When I have a BM, there's an "oil slick" in the bowl. What is going on with me??????? I am a young 59 year old female in otherwise very good health. Does any one have any ideas. I'm scheduled to see "Gastro-Man" next week. I'm at wits end. Pleeeeeeeeeeze help!!!

Hi,

I was reading about gallbladder issues this morning in a book about blended medicine.
Gallbladder stores bile, the fluid that aids in the digestion of fats. Bile is composed of a mixture of things, mostly cholesterol and bile acids. As the food leaves the stomach, the gallbladder contracts and squirts the bile into small intestine.
Symptoms of gallstones shortly after eating: pain in upper right abdomen, radiating to shoulder blades, subsiding after an hour. Accompanied by indigestion, bloating, feeling of fullness in upper abdomen, vomiting, fever. One does not have to have all the symptoms. Sometimes the only one people get is the pain.
Your symptoms sound similar to the above. I think you should also look up fat digestion and fat absorption. Perhaps you have a digestive disorder - excess or deficiency of enzymes or bile salts so cannot properly absorb (or digest) the fats.
