Constant Belching

Hello sir, I have been suffering from severe GERD since a year. I have been to a gastroenterologist and has been told that my lower esophageal sphincter is loose. My biopsy and my blood test were normal. My symptoms are as follows. Every day I wake up with lot of gas and have a bad headache. I belch all the gas out and then the headache goes off. I belch for every 5 minutes . After having my meal after 2 hours I start belching continuously and it goes on for 2 hours. I get bad throat pain with belching so much. Iam eating less food and have avoided all the trigger foods. This is my daily routine and on the day I have bad gas I belch every second and get a bad headache with the gas. My gerd is worst one week before my menstrual cycle and gets worst during the cycle and goes only on the second day of my menstruation. I have bad stomach cramps and headache during my menstrual cycle. My menstrual cycle are periodic and my blood flow is normal.

I have been using bryonia alba 30c for three weeks , as suggested by a doctor, but did not find any relief with this medicine. Iam taking one dose a day . I still belch a lot daily

Request you to please suggest a proper medicine for me and a medicine that can strengthen my lower esophageal sphincter. Iam desperate for help as my belching and gas made my life horrible

Hi
I have been using china-30 and Natrum Phos since two weeks. I could find some relief with my belching. Iam not belching every second, but Iam still belching a lot every 10 minutes and not able to eat much food.
When I belch the gas comes out with lot of force. With this by end of day my throat pains a lot.

My belching is still bad two hours after my meals. I still had lot of gas and headache during my menstrual cycle this month.

Iam on very controlled diet and eat only little rice.

Please let me know if I need to increase the dosage or do any changes to the medicines
Thanks in advance

Hi Tamhankar,

Thanks a lot for the update. I have been searching for Asofoeitida but could not find the medicine.
I could find Asafoetida 30C, please let me know if this is the one you were mentioning. I also wanted to know if it was 30C or 30X and is it pelletes or soft tablets.

I had one more query, does these medicines cure the root cause of my gerd which is the loose lower esophageal sphincter? I want someting to strenghten my lower esophageal sphincter which could solve my problems. Is there a medicine to strenghten my lower esophageal sphincter.

I have read of some GERD discussions in this form and some other sites about Arnica 30c which is said to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter. Will this work for my case?
Can you suggest a proper medicine for strenghtening my lower esophageal sphincter .

Thanks in advance.

Asafoetida-30 means Asafoetida-30C. In India It is taken for granted.

In Homeopathy the medicine are selected on the basis of symptom and not as per the name of the disease.
Use of Arnica-30c in wet dose which is called as jeopathy. You can certainly use it. You will find somewhere on this website how to use Arnica-30c wet dose. Please read that and follow the same.
I think your queries are solved

Dear Tamhankar,

Thanks for the clarification. I ordered the Asafoetida-30c on net as I could not get in the store. Would report you my progress after I take the medicine.
I was terribly sick since 3 days with constant belching,gas and headache. Becoming too weak with these as Iam not able to eat at all and Iam already anemic due to my GERD going on since one year.
Can I take an extra dose of the medicines listed when the symptoms are more? Thanks once again for the valuable suggestions and prompt replies.

Hi Tamhankar,

Sorry for the delay in update. I could not get the medicine Pulsetilla. I have been using Carbo Veg and Natrum Phos . I have visited another GI doctor and based on his suggestion I have started taking PPI as my symptoms are being worst. He suggested another endoscopy , to see if I have developed anything else in all these days. I have been using these medicines along with my english medicine.
