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'm just wondering if I should continue taking the SIBOFix tablets since Ive already finished a 3-day course? I noticed that there are some available for another 3 days. Also, I'm planning to go to my native place for 3 days soon. Could you let me know if an appointment can be scheduled on the morning of the 17th before I leave?
-If your symptoms have improved after taking Sibofix for 3 days, you can wait and monitor before continuing. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further advice. Regarding the appointment, confirm availability on the 17th morning with the clinich

I'm a bit worried since my scan showed a polyp in my gall bladder. Is this similar to a stone, or is it more like an overgrown cell?
