I'm having some trouble with my neckthere's pain, and I'm getting these burps all the time. It seems like every time I eat, I have to burp to feel better, as if there's something stuck in my throat until I do. It's making me feel really weak, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure this out?

I've been noticing blood mixed with mucus in my stool and had a capsule endoscopy that showed duodenal and proximal jejunal lymphangiectasia along with small bowel erosions. My sigmoidoscopy also found areas of hyperemia and superficial ulcers in the rectum. Earlier CT scans showed clumped ileal loops, but after surgery, the obstruction cleared though there's still mild wall thickening, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and a bit of straw-colored free fluid in the abdomen. Could this be IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? And what exactly is lymphangiectasia?

gastroenterology opinion is advised.
