Okay, so I've posted before that I do take a PPI, and I still have indigestion. I also take Maalox in addition to my PPI and I still have indigestion most of the time. The problem is I need to belch but most of the time I can't. If I have like 1 or 2 sips of Ginger Ale will it do a lot of damage? I have never been really gassy the other way, but I still have a lot of gas that now I can't get to move. Walking doesn't make it come up. I can't make myself belch. Carbonation used to do the trick before the sleeve. I know a whole soda would be terrible, but 1 month out a couple of sips to make me burp won't kill me, will it?

Try chewing gum. That always makes me belch!!! It really helped me. I also often feel like if someone would just pat me on the back like a baby that would be so helpful! But I haven't really actually asked anyone to do so. I tried the gum, and found it really helpful! Good luck!!

I pat myself on the breast bone... it works.
