Hey callie. I think my problem may be a bird allergy (it's funny that there's a pic of a bird when posting, lol). Looking back, I can also say that my burping started a couple months after antibiotics. I remember being prescribed them in early June when this started and then getting the burping precisely on July 28th. I don't know how that works though.
I did another course of anti-biotics and it had no affect at all. Diflucan also didn't help. I keep reading up on the whole "GERD"/"LPR" thing and about how it lasts forever, but basically any symptom could fall into that category an it seems that it's a "marketed" condition and not a real "disease". Hopefully my problem isn't some gastrointestinal failure or something like that. I know they found a hiatal hernia but so many people find those on tests, I could've had it my whole life and it still could not be the culprit.
