Hello, all. I don't believe I've posted anything about this in a few months, but I've had this constant belching as my only symptom for quite some time now. It started back in May, where it felt like I was burping all the time no matter what I ate, and it's still happening as of today. It hasn't gotten any worse than it's always been, but it still worries me from time to time. I've been on a PPI since September and it doesn't really seem to make it any better or worse. When I saw my gastro in October, he didn't seem concerned at all, asking how my weight/eating habits have been (both were normal), and I'm scheduled to go back at the end of the month.
I had a CT of my entire stomach done back in April for an appendicitis scare, an endoscopy done in April 2015, and most recently a barium swallow in September (which the doctor specifically stated didn't check the stomach :shrug:). The only thing that's ever shown up was gastritis, some reflux, and a slight sliding hiatal hernia. I'm 23, and my mind always floats back to some sort of stomach cancer, especially since the PPI hasn't done much. If anyone has any thoughts or experiences with this, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could share as this has been the biggest cause of my anxiety issues for nearly a year now.
