I'm dealing with constant burps throughout the day for about a month now. I've visited the doctor three times and tried different medicines like Pantocid DSR and Rantac MPS for the first 10 days without any relief. Then, the doctor switched me to Sompraz L for another week, and now I'm taking Ganaton. I don't have any abdominal pain, I'm eating less spicy and oily foods, drinking plenty of water, and I don't smoke or drink. I go for regular walks and I'm not overweight, but I still feel like there's air bubbling up my throat, making me feel like I need to burp it out. There's no smell or taste to these burps, but it's messing up my daily life and it's really embarrassing around others. The doctor has now suggested I get an endoscopy this weekend to find out what's going on. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or any tips on how to control it?

It's good that your doctor has recommended an endoscopy to further investigate the issue. You can continue with your current lifestyle modifications of avoiding spicy and oily foods, staying hydrated, and maintaining regular physical activity. These measures, along with the prescribed medications, may help alleviate your symptoms until the underlying cause is identified through the endoscopy.

I had my gallbladder removed recently and now I'm dealing with a lot of indigestion and stomach issues. I've heard bile salt supplements and choline might help but I'm not sure which ones to take or how much. Can you recommend specific types or brands that would work best for post-surgery digestion problems? Also, are there any side effects I should watch out for?

yes advised ,conservative therapy.

I'm really worried because my GGT level has gone up to 250. Is there any way to bring it down in about a week or so? Could you suggest any medications or treatments that might help? I'm really looking forward to your advice.

Elevated GGT levels can be indicative of liver or bile duct issues. To help lower your GGT levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This medication can help improve liver function and reduce GGT levels. Additionally, you should avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated to support liver health.
