Usually to do with acid levels changing in your stomach as your symptoms have been for a fortnight. We call it ‘Dyspepsia’.
Take some Gaviscon (basically an anti-acid) liquid and should settle.
Smoking, alcohol and excess weight can make these symptoms worse.
All the best.

Sorry to hear about your distress. Your eating times are good and walking definitely helps. However, what you eat also matters and how much you eat too. Burps could be due to many reasons, but being there for 15 days , could be sorted by trying simple planned meals first and avoid some.
Avoid spicy foods, more gassy foods, fast/junk foods..
Prefer - more of greenies, more water content eatables..
Next Steps
Try for 10- 14 days, if no improvement, pls go for over the counter antacids, if not working, then please consult.
Good day to you sir

Burping is due to causes like acid reflux, indigestion, gas buildup in stomach.
Before we proceed I would like you to answer a few questions
# Do you have any snacks in between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner?
# Is there history of any previous such episodes? If yes what did you do to relieve it then?
Next Steps
I kindly urge you to book a one to one consultation with your family physician or any physician you are comfortable with so that a workup (history, investigations) can be done followed by designing an appropriate treatment plan.

Burping that gets worse just before meals usually happens due to one of the following:
Gastritis or acid build up in an empty stomach
When the stomach stays empty for 4 to 5 hours, acid and gas accumulate.
This releases as burping before the next meal.
Swallowed air (aerophagia)
When hungry or anxious, many people swallow small amounts of air without realizing.
This increases burping before meals.
H pylori related acidity
A common stomach infection that can cause
gas
bloating
burping
empty stomach discomfort
Mild reflux or indigestion
If the lower esophageal valve is a bit loose, gas escapes easily as burps, especially when the stomach is empty.
Diet pattern
Tea, coffee, fast eating, carbonated drinks or spicy foods can worsen burping.
Why walking after dinner helps but not before meals
After dinner your stomach is full, digestion is going on, gas has a way to move down smoothly and walking helps.
Before lunch or dinner your stomach is empty, so gas tends to move upward as burps.
This pattern is common and not dangerous.
Next Steps
What you can do to reduce burping
One. Eat something small between meals
Do not keep the stomach empty for more than four hours.
Have a small snack around 11 am and 5 pm.
For example
banana
few nuts
toast
curd
biscuit
This prevents acid build up and reduces burping significantly.
Two. Take an acid reducing medicine for a few days
Pantoprazole 40 mg or Rabeprazole 20 mg
Take once daily before breakfast for seven to ten days.
Three. Use a digestive enzyme after meals
A digestive enzyme tablet or syrup after lunch and dinner can help reduce gas formation.
Four. Reduce triggers
Avoid carbonated drinks
Limit tea or coffee on empty stomach
Reduce very spicy or oily foods
Eat slowly
Avoid chewing gum
Five. Increase water intake
Small frequent sips help wash down swallowed air and reduce burping.
Six. If symptoms persist
You may need a simple test for H pylori or a course of medicine for it.
Health Tips
Only if you have
severe abdominal pain
vomiting
weight loss
black stools
chest pain not related to meals
Otherwise burping without other symptoms is usually functional and harmless.
Most likely cause in your case
Empty stomach acidity and swallowed air are the most probable reasons.
Your walking habit is good.
Just add small snacks and a short course of acidity medicine and you should feel better in a few days.
Increased burping for the last 15 days is usually related to acidity, delayed gastric emptying, or excess air swallowing, and it commonly becomes more noticeable when the stomach is empty before meals. Maintain regular meal timings, avoid tea/coffee on an empty stomach, carbonated drinks, spicy or oily foods, and eat slowly to reduce air intake. You may take a course of an antacid such as pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before breakfast for 5–7 days along with a digestive enzyme after meals. Continue your walking routine, stay hydrated, and monitor symptoms; if burping persists, worsens, or is associated with pain, weight loss, or vomiting, please undergo a physical evaluation and basic gastrointestinal work-up.”
Dear patient.. please follow the food timings constantly.. don't change..avoid spicy items and nitrogen rich food like ground nuts like that...and use Tab.Rabeprazole Dsr Od for 15 days sporolac tablets BD for 15 days
Most likely gastric acidity + empty stomach gas build-up (common when meals are spaced out). When the stomach stays empty for long, acid + gas accumulate → more burping before lunch/dinner.
Simple steps:
Don’t stay empty for 5–6 hours.
– Add a small mid-morning snack (banana, buttermilk, handful of nuts)
– Add a light evening snack (fruit, puffed rice, coconut water)
Avoid triggers: tea/coffee on empty stomach, spicy/oily food, carbonated drinks.
Medicine (safe short course):
– Pan 40 (or any pantoprazole) once daily empty stomach for 10 days.
– If gas is more: Sooktyn / Gelusil / Digene after meals as needed.
Continue walking after dinner — good habit.
When to worry:
Continuous burping with chest burning, weight loss, vomiting, black stools → need doctor review.
You can take pan 40 tablet twice daily at least 30 minutes before meal, try to have less spicy food and light exercise is recommended for you.
For further queries kindly contact a consultant
