Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 , the extreme belching is something that I have had and I would label it part of a GB COLIC episode. There are other causes that contribute too, particularly stress, anxiety, fear, anger, worry, or other excessive emotional input. The guts are your " SECOND BRAIN " . If the sufferer doesn't " learn " how to open the esophageal passage and eliminate the air, it causes paralyzing pain exactly like heart attack pain is described, eg, stabbing pressure-pain in the center of the chest. It's common for the extreme volume of air to follow a meal by 1-3 hours. To expell the air, walking helps a lot as does making swallowing motions as you do on an airplane to open the ears to relieve pressure, it's intentional burping. Possible sources of the gas or air: 1) Swallowing too much air when eating, say by eating too fast 2) Swallowing air by abnormal breathing on feeling discomfort, bloat or colic 3) Gas-producing bacteria in the digestive tract 4) Fermenting food in the stomach and small intestine. 5) Foul environment in stomach- inadequate hydrochloric acid While you may have a concurrent CANDIDA infection, it's extremely common and causes hundreds of diseases, Candida albicans yeast organisms, to my knowledge, are not the yeast bugs that produce gas. HOWEVER, it's highly likely that those of us that get this violent gas production have lost our " good " Acidophilus-type bugs and have an overgrowth of the wrong kind of bugs, ie, the gas producers. In my work as a vet, BLOAT kills many cattle, sheep and goats, and COLIC kills many a horse. These gas explosions come on fast and the animal can die so fast they literally drop dead right on you, crushing you as you listen with the stethoscope or take the temperature. Sometimes the only emergency salvation is to tap the gas with a pocket knife or huge needle. Shock ensues rapidly otherwise. What I have found that prevents and cures human belching attacks: 1) Reduce excess carbs especially cereal grains (remember how beer is made?) Most bugs thrive on simple carbohydrates,especially fructose. 2) Eat more pure proteins especially pastured eggs every morning for breakfast. Also liver (once a week) and grass-fed meat. 3) Learn which foods " trigger " your episodes---for me it was deep-fried food for others it's cabbage, dairy, pasta, potatoes, beans or processed foods. Some foods are impossible for certain people to digest, hence the gas. 4) EAT SLOWLY, chew your food well, don't eat when stressed or hurried Never eat a huge meal late at night, never overeat. 5) Take digestive enzymes 30 min. before eating, including ox bile 6) Take probiotics daily, mainly Acidophilus and many other good bugs 7) Exercise by walking for 30 minutes after a big meal. Abdominal massage. 8) FAST on a regular basis to empty the intestines of fermenting foods 9) Read books like " The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet " by Felicia Kliment, these people understand fermentation, digestive upsets, colitis and so on. 10) Learn to enjoy spices (culinary herbs were originally put there to detoxify and help digest foods!) Cayenne, oregano, basil, cilantro, garlic, sage, etc. If you can, try taking herbal bitters 30 minutes before you eat, especially dinner. ***Always apply a CASTOR OIL HOT PACK over your liver that night if you had an episode. ***This is a warning signal that fasting, cleansing, or flushing is overdue.
