Occurs when bad bacteria in gut overwhelm good bacteria in gut. Can be alleviated by ingesting live strains of good bacteria. I eat unflavored Chobani yogurt with 5 strains of good live bacteria. Val has more problems with gas and belching than I do. She uses Kefir with 30 strains of good live bacteria. If you have dairy issues, Swanson’s Vitamins, PipingRock, and Amazon sell capsules containing good live bacteria.

I do. It comes and goes. I will have it for a few weeks and then nothing. Had full GI work up....nothing. Chest pains with the belching is a newer GI type symptom I haven't had before now. Doctor believes because GI checked out may be related to the lung or heart.

I've had belching and gastrointestinal problems long before I started on Plaquenil. GI doc found nothing wrong. It's a real problem, along with pain. I take ginger and peppermint. I don't know that they help, but my belches are minty.

That's the culprit and the problem is we can't do without it. But as the guys above have mentioned, I find that when I am strict with my diet then I don't have this symptom as often
