“Trouble with eating and digestion?”
I am a 52 year old female. For the past week, I haven't been able to eat solids and I take just a sip of any fluid, and instantly my stomach is full of air. I then burp at least 5-7 times within ten minutes. What could be wrong?

You may have some delayed gastric emptying. See a doctor if it persists.
You are describing a term called arrow fee check. That means that you are being air and becoming bloated from gas, air, that’s resulting in the bloating. If you are having issues with passing bowel movements or vomiting that could be something of significance. If you have was called early satiety, meaning the feeling of fullness and unable to eat with very small amounts of food, that could be a blockage and or an upper G.I. issue which would very easily be resolved with either a timed barium swallow or an upper endoscopy. Long and short, see your gastroenterologist discuss your symptoms and make sure that it’s nothing ominous. And I’ll give you peace of mind as well as feeling well. Thank you for your question and I hope I was of assistance and I wish you well.
