so i had upper gi endoscopy six days back.doctor took too biopsies as well and ever since i had the procedure my life has been a hell...i have been so gassy to the point that even drinking water causes me to belch..and add to the fact that i am getting sensation of burp getting stuck so many times that i am scared to eat anything... i had xray after endoscopy just to be sure there was no injury due to endoscopy but it showed nothing...now i am lost as to what i can do and will i start feeling better or not?.....any help will be appreciated

    it took me weeks also to feel better after mine

    what was your biopsy results?

    I'm going to another dr next week to see whats up with me, he's an ENT, that specializes in acid reflux, and all the complications that go along with it

    hang in there Keep me posted

    Take Tums for now and see if it helps, or ask about Gas-X

    Good luck

      biopsy just showed dudeonitis which doctor dismissed as nothing serious...now i am just waiting to feel better...irritating thing is doctor is saying that feeling so gassy is not due to endoscopy..but it cant be a coincidence that i had this problem on the very same day when i had the procedure.

      Its probably from what you have

      The gas lasts a little while from the endoscopy

      i hope you feel better soon
