What Is a Burp? <\/h2>\n\n\n
\"woman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A burp is a normal bodily function that releases excess air from the digestive tract through the mouth.<\/a> The excess air is typically swallowed during eating or drinking, but could enter the stomach in other ways. <\/p>\n\n\n

What Causes Excessive Burping? <\/h2>\n\n\n

There are many potential causes of\nexcessive burping. <\/p>\n\n\n

Certain Foods and Drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n

Some foods and drinks are linked to more air consumption\nthan others. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and\nKidney Diseases (NIDDK), the biggest offenders are gum, hard candy and fizzy\ndrinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you chew gum or suck on hard candy, you swallow air in\nthe process. Carbonated drinks cause burping by releasing carbon dioxide which\nbubble in stomach fluids and need to be released. Avoid these foods if they are\ntriggering your excessive burps. <\/p>\n\n\n

Eating\/Drinking Quickly<\/h3>\n\n\n

The foods you eat and beverages you drink aren\u2019t the only\nfactor in burping; the speed at which you consume them can also contribute to\nbelching frequency. Eating or drinking too quickly can cause you to swallow\nmore air than you normally would. The NIDDK suggests trying to eat and drink\nmore slowly to avoid swallowing excess air. <\/p>\n\n\n

GERD<\/h3>\n\n\n

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, more commonly called GERD<\/a>, can also lead to frequent burping. When the sphincter at the top of the stomach becomes weak, acid can pass into the esophagus, which can cause burping as well as foul taste. Lifestyle modifications such as losing weight, stopping smoking and taking antacids can help prevent GERD. <\/p>\n\n\n

Aerophagia\/Supragastric Belching <\/h3>\n\n\n

Aerophagia and supragastric belching occur when a person moves\nair into the esophagus. This can be done either consciously or unconsciously.\nAerophagia happens when a person swallows air that enters a person\u2019s stomach,\nand supragastric belching occurs when the esophagus releases air immediately\nreleases air before a person swallows, causing the air to enter the stomach. There\nis no clear solution for these types of burps, but some suggest that speech or\nbehavioral therapies may be helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
