Super embarasing problem :( help

[CalicoCalm94]

Okay, this is gross as hell. But I've been excessively belching for the past few days :blush: I stupidly Googled remedies, scrolled down and saw a page about stomach cancer and how one of the early symptoms is excessive belching (I'm praying that I've read that wrong, I only glanced. Didn't dare click the link)

I'm trying to rationalize because I have literally no stomach pain or discomfort (an occasional, barely there pain in my abdomen, but I sit hunched over all the time) the only other uncomfortable symptom I've had in the last few months is a sore throat, and that started yesterday and is nearly cleared up.

Anyways, the mere word 'cancer' has released the mental kraken and now I'm freaking the f out. I was getting better but I'm so frightened right now :(

While here, I should probably mention that I manage to link literally every little twinge and sensation to cancer somehow. I'm really starting to lose faith in my sanity here guys.

I know deep down that there's probably nothing wrong, but how do I get my thoughts in order long enough to actually calm down and rationalize these things? :weep:

Sorry to hear about your problems :(
Do you think it could it possibly be diet related or a change in what you have been eating / drinking lately?

Hello,

Saw this and had to post. It also sounds very much like acid reflux and indigestion. When i get acid, i get the belching and the sore throat sometimes, sometimes pain sometimes not.

Hope it helps to put your mind at ease a bit x

Do you eat quite quickly? This can cause you to swallow more air than normal, which has to come out :) Also if you've been eating richly at Christmas this type of diet change can cause you to be gassy, too.

Sounds like brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts make you burp and fart, along with certain other foods including jerusalem artichoke. If you had a christmas dinner with brussel sprouts, it's probably because of that.
