Hi

Don't worry, you certainly don't have bowel cancer. Sounds as though you may be swallowing loads of air through anxiety and causing the burping that way or it could just be something in your diet.

Hi,
I get this a lot too, got it at the moment and have had for a few days, and I am worrying also, even though doc has said it is just anxiety! It does come and go, but I also had a bad bought of ibs early in the year, and that caused lots of burping, and general wind, (tmi, sorry!), but it did go eventually! Try drinking warm water, this will make you burp initially but it helps to soothe your stomach if it is a touch of upset stomach or ibs.

My IBS gets better and worse as my anxiety swings back and forth.
I use Gaviscon and or peppermint tea - they help BUT don't stop it.
I know that I find burping ( and wind ) really embarrassing which then makes matters worse........
Bloating ??? yet another problem!!!!!
Best wishes

I have exactly the same. I have treid to analyse food and makes no difference. I also get like a windrush through my chest just before. Doctor says its panic. Sure it is. But one thing knowing and another dealing with it. Keep smiling through

Don't worry, I get this ALL the time when I'm anxious. It's one of my main symptoms, actually. I think is definitely IBS related
