Burping w/sick feeling or lower abdominal pain - cause ?? Posted: 02-09-08 12:19pm
My mother often has the following
symptoms:
1) Burping associated with feeling sick,
or
2) Burping associated with lower abdominal
pain.
Forcing herself to throw-up will make the
sick feeling subside somewhat.
Appears to be related to some foods.
Green tea makes her feel sickly. spicy
foods (but not hot sauces) sometimes
brings the condition on.
Symptoms and poor feelings usually take
several days to resolve themselves.
She claims that Prylosec (which lower
stomach acidity) will sometimes help.
Nothing comes up when she burps, nor is
there a taste to the burp, except on rare
occasions. Normally just air.
Does not experience diarrhea or full blow
nausea.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Pete

Those look like the symptoms of Bullimia,
when someone thinks they feel sick &
purposely throws up. look it up on a
search engine & ask your mum to see a
doctor, I may be wrong but this is what it
looks like to me
PS: Bullimia is an eating disorder.

Not bulimia. I've had gastritis off and
on for years due to H. Pylori. I got to
the point of recognizing the onset and
forced myself to throwup, thereby getting
some relief. Similar situation with my
mother. She is slightly overweight and
only forces herself to throw up on
occasion when she experiences the sick
feeling. If she had a psychic disorder
which led to throwing up I fee sure she
would be loosing weight.
