Minor Health issues

Puddle Jumper · May 14, 2006

Well I've got a minor health question that I wondered if anyone knows a remedy for, but thought I'd title it so that if anyone else had a minor health question they could post it if they wanted.

Anyway...

I've been belching most of the day, not like regular belches, just like a little gas bubble or something that makes no sound but leaves an absolute awful taste in my mouth (kind of like eggs but I haven't eaten any eggs recently) and I've been doing this rather frequently. I tried taking Tums and that didn't do anything for it. Does anyone else know what this is like and knows a good remedy for it?

It's a well know medical infact that belching can lead to increased aging.

My mom brought over a basket of lemons.

OMGosh, I thought I was the only one. I get that too, but I don't know what it is. I had it real bad when I went on steroids a few weeks ago. I am also lactose intollerant with milk. I thought it was the steroids or the sourcream I ate or the cheese on the pizza I ate. :Shrug:

I looked it up on web md and they didn't offer any answers either. It went away and I'm alive.

Burps are a sign of pregnancy. :hooray:

Have this checked out by a medical professional. Or visit our web site advice about excessive gas

Great, glad to know someone else knows what it's like. Always comforting. It might be indigestion.

Know any good cures for indigestion?

Spook, you are so not helpful. :e2moon:

Okay, Dr. Spooky here. I did a quick search and found this article:

Egg breath. This type of bad breath is much more apparent in those people with a bacterial build up on the very back of their tongue ...

Article

And this abdomen; stomach; burping, belching; tasting like yolk of egg; apis.

I haven't been belching but I've been noticing that I've been breaking some wind in the general direction of my significant other. I think she appreciates the thought but I can't tell through the fog that's been forming in the room. Also, I'm getting offended that she's wearing a gas mask.

Is it just me?

I'll have to worry about it tomorrow. Good night, y'all!

Except bacterial build up on the back of my tongue wouldn't cause belching. Perhaps it's an effect of indigestion.

Have you tried drinking half a teaspoon of baking soda in half a glass of warm water? It tastes lousy, but it eases a sour stomach.

I agree that you might have indigestion. But diet? I am not a medical professional, I only pretend when dissecting patients. If this problem continues, I would visit my family doctor.

Be careful not to take a lot of baking soda because it can cause you to have excessive bladder losses.

Does it taste worse than alka seltzer?

I couldn't tell you. It tastes something like salty water. I've never had Alka-Seltzer.

SpookyW, "bladder losses"? What are you talking about? The only danger I know of with baking soda is that a person who must avoid sodium shouldn't take it.

I've taken two spoons of baking soda and had the peewee really bad. I was stupid and did the same thing again and guess what? Yep, uncontrolled bladder. Pizzed like a race horse for almost ten minutes. Be careful...

Maybe that was an overdose or you drank a lot of water with it? Strange. I've never heard of that reaction. People usually take half a teaspoon.

Half a teaspoon? OMG! No wonder I was pissing like a darn horse.

it's a wonder you didn't explode Spooky.

trumancoyote · May 15, 2006

It's your addled soul trying to escape.

But you just keep on swallowing it back again.

I need to get a gas mask too.

I thought so too but nothing I took helped. What ever it was created the air in my stomach on it's own and a lot of it too. Jon found something called apis. I'll have to look into it.

Ps.Crack kills. :tongue
