Hey I was curious if anybody else notices that they belch more since being on dialysis. I seem to belch quite frequently and I was wondering if this is a side effect of dialysis. Thanks everybody.
-
I noticed I do a lot of belching when I have a full tummy from dialysis (pd), and also eat as well. Sometimes I gotta do it, it's all a matter of having time, or lack thereof. Also, if I have a full tummy and bend over, or bend my torso belches, or worse (farts!)
ensue. Ugh. Very embarrassing.
-
I could see how pd might do that. I'm on hemodialysis so I wonder if it would cause belching at all.

When I get off the machine, sometimes I burp a couple of times.

Usually after I eat and take my phosphate binder. I thought it was a side effect of the binder. These are really loud frat-boy belches. I'm very entertaining these days.
-
Oh, I entertain my fiancee and son. They are impressed that I can belch louder than they can....
-
No problem here................ Yet!!

Once i hook up to my machine i get it coming out the attic and the basement :P quite musical if i must say ;D
-
Goofy that was not nice. I was hooked up, and just finished my fill when I read your reply. I started laughing! Man, that hurt!

Sorry bout that MyssAnne, but you know how they say, "the truth hurts" yeah, in more ways than one huh? Hope your all better now girlfriend :cuddle;
(wanna play name that tune? just pull my finger) :-\ ::) ;)

Well since we are on the topic of gas... has anyone noticed while you are hooked up on dialysis you fart more? I can let some big farts go in the center. Huwhee! I am suprised they have not kicked me out of there yet!.
-
I fart the whole time I am on dialysis. I used to try and hold it in but i would get a stomach ache and basically blow up the elevator when i left. As soon as i stand up after dialysis i do a few good belches and then i feel okay. Of course, then there are the sulfur burps but they are a different story. Basically,with dialysis, i am sure i could power a small village with natural gas.

If we could only harness our farts and belches...we could make a fortune!!!! WE'D BE RICH!!! RICH, I TELL YOU!!!!!

Now if you could bottle it all up and use is an alternative fuel source, you would be rich$$$$$$$ :thumbup; it would be less than $3 per gallon.

Hmm, did you say LESS than $3.00 a gallon, sheeeeit, then put me down for a fill up, approx. 30 gallons please :P ;) We are paying $3.25 a gallon here. :o

For those of you with this problem, have you found taking sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to work? I take my sodium bicarb now, but have not been taking it every day (like I'm supposed to, okay I confess). But now I'm thinking I need to take it every day.
and P.S. I searched all over the Internet and this is the first place I have found real discussion re belching on dialysis. I didn't start belching much until AFTER I started on PD.

MyssAnne, You started a right post with this one. I have not stopped laughing reading down the page. Talk about letting it all out. :bandance; :bandance;
