Eddie is belching so very much that it seems he has a physical problem. He must be having discomfort. If he has no physical problem then it is also possible that he has gotten in the habit of swallowing air. I like so much about Eddie, his spirit and charm, wit and many other endearing ways but I really think someone who cares about him should explain just how much this personal habit/condition is going to get in his way in any field of work.

He probably could use a work up by a physician specializing in gestroenterology to find out just what is going on. Maybe one of you can get this message to someone who can assist him.

I thought I remembered hearing early on in the show that he had some sort of lingering stomach problems related to his illness. I could be wrong. I seem to recall George saying something about how Eddie couldn't/wouldn't eat certain foods, but I may have assumed more than was said.

Snowgirl,

I recall that too....I thought that he was referring to radiation or chemo that affected Eddie's digestive tract when he was treated for bone cancer.

The drugs used for his chemotherapy are very damaging to the digestive tract.

He is lactose intolerant and he eats milk and cereal all the time.

His chemo was 10 years ago. It's not effecting him now. If he is lactose intolerant, and eats the way he does, of course his digestive system hurts.
