For the past 2 years, I have had stomach problems. It started after I was very sick with a stomach virus, and the mild-moderate effects have stayed even until now. It may be important to note that I had baby colic as a baby and had mild digestive problems in early childhood, but they cleared up in adolescence until the virus.

1. When I eat, a large amount of gas builds in my stomach, and I am unable to burp (I mean, I cannot burp at all. I never have been able to, but it has only been a problem in the past few years). The only way to release the pressure is to angle my throat upwards and cough, which causes a burp-cough that is rather disgusting.
2. When I am in an anxiety-filled situation, my stomach and intestines hurt badly, even if I do not eat any beforehand (even in cases where I have not eaten for 10 or 11 hours before).

I am wondering if anyone can tell me some supplements to help with stomach pain of this type, or even what it could be caused by. Thank you.

A gastro doc would probably believe you might have H-Pylori (their catch-all diagnosis) and give you antibiotics to try to knock it out.

Alternative medicine folk would probably believe you might have candida overgrowth and/or "gut dysbiosis" (their catch-all diagnosis) and put you on a candida diet and/or probiotics to see if you improve.

Read up on these issues and see what matches your symptoms best. The easiest place to start might be to try a candida diet... You simply starve the candida (which is a yeast) of the sugar it loves and see if symptoms improve. It's difficult to get rid of candida completely, as most everybody has it in low/controlled numbers. If a candida diet helps you, you'll have to figure out why your candida grows out of control on a normal diet for a long term solution to your problem.

Gut dysbiosis is usually brought on by medical antibiotics, which kill off good bacteria in your gut, allowing bad bugs to grow out of control. If you've been on anti-B's recently, this might be your prime suspect. Like a candida diet, if pro-biotics and/or a dysbiosis diet ease your symptoms for a while, you're probably on the right track, but also like the candida fix, you might need to figure out why your gut flora is going out of whack on your usual diet.

I'd try everything before I dropped the big guns anti-B's for H-Pylori. This treatment "CAN" cause more problems than it fixes is some people, so look carefully at the pro's and con's of this treatment before you try it. There are alternative medicine therapies for H-Pylori too, to knock down excess overgrowth and help you to live with this bug as a large percentage of the population does without problems. I'm not too hip to the specifics of these therapies, but they should pop right up if you look for them.

Best of Luck to you!

If you have stomach poison just take vitamin C to kill all bad unwanted things (and yes some good things too get in the way)
