There are a lot of different naturopathic diets, so what I’m thinking you’re saying is you’re eating a cleaner diet than before.

We do use supplements to support optimal digestion as well as medications as needed if it is caused by an infection.

Burping is "rebellious Qi" in TCM. Food should go down and out. When it reverses it's direction the energy is going the opposite way of the way the body was designed. Gas is a stagnant symptom.
