I feel wonderful and I am waiting for the catch

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

I would take that to a clinician rather than to us, and I would do it this week. Not because it is definitely serious — because it is the sort of thing that is much easier to rule out than to worry about.

Mine lasted about seven weeks and then lifted over a few days. I cannot tell you why. I can tell you it lifted.

What the reply above described happened to me too, in a slightly different order.

I keep a two-line diary and it is the only reason I could answer this question about myself. Worth starting even now.

Different experience here, for balance. Mine did not improve and in the end I stopped, and that was the right call for me. Both outcomes exist.

I am about four months behind you and I have been dreading exactly this, so thank you for writing it down before I got there.

Building on what the reply above wrote rather than answering the original question.

Yes to the burping. It is real, it is unbeautiful, and it does settle.

For what it is worth, the trial data on this is thinner than the confidence of the internet would suggest. Worth knowing when you read the posts.

Have you got anyone who can be with you when you do it? It made an enormous difference to me and I felt silly asking.

I did exactly the same and felt terrible about it. You have not done anything wrong.

Coming back to this a fortnight later to say it settled. Leaving the update because I hate reading threads that stop.

Gently disagreeing with the reply above, or rather adding the other half of it.

I am the person who had the frightening version of this. I went in, it was investigated, and it was not what anyone feared. Going in is the whole of my advice.

the reply above said something I want to sit with for a second.

Can I gently push back on one thing? Not the substance, just the framing — you have written twice that you should be coping better. Who told you that?
