What is Belching?
Belching, also known as burping, involves the release of gas from the digestive tract, mainly esophagus and stomach,
through the mouth. The process is an often audible release of gas that has accumulated in the stomach or esophagus.
It is usually accompanied with a typical sound and, at times, an odor. The sound of burping is caused by the vibration of
the cardia (esophageal sphincter) as the gas passes through it.
Symptoms
Chronic burping or belching can cause inflammation of the stomach lining, peptic ulcer disease or delayed stomach
emptying. Excessive burping is an embarrassing problem, but it can also be a serious sign of health problems that
could constrict the airways and cause difficulty breathing. Some people experience the feeling of choking, difficulty
swallowing and tightness of the throat. Excessive belching and burping can also be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux
disease, which can damage or cause mechanical dysfunction in the esophagus. Heartburn accompanied with burping
can be a sign of a serious health problem.
Causes
Belching is typically caused by swallowing air when eating or drinking and subsequently expelling it, so in this case the
expelled gas is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. You may swallow excess air by eating, drinking too fast,
drinking carbonated beverages through a straw or talking while you eat. Burps can also be caused by drinking
carbonated drinks such as beer, soft drinks, energy drinks or champagne, in which case the expelled gas is carbon
dioxide from the drink itself. Common diabetes drugs can cause belching too, especially at higher doses, however this
often resolves in a few weeks. Many people will burp more when they salivate a lot, because they swallow air with their
increased saliva. Reasons for excessive salivation include wearing dentures or mouth guards that don't fit correctly,
taking antacids that are based on baking soda, and feeling nauseated. This condition can be cause too by a
gastroesophageal reflux disease producing involuntary burping. At the same time can be cause in some people by
swallowing air because of anxiety or nervous habits.
Burping could be a sign of the presence of ulcer or hiatal hernia, especially if you complain of chest pain and heartburn
along with your excessive burping. These conditions often cause acids to travel back up from your stomach into your
throat after you've eaten.
At the same time babies are particularly subject to accumulation of gas in the stomach while feeding, and this can
cause considerable agitation and/or discomfort to the child unless it is burped.
Treatment
Such procedures include: eat and drink slowly and do not drink from a straw. Even drinking through a straw can
introduce higher-than-normal levels of air into your stomach. Avoid carbonated drinks because they carry carbon
dioxide gas into the stomach. Make an effort to eat more slowly. Don't chew gum or hard candy. Don't smoke, because
half of what is inhaled is air. Check dentures, which, poorly fitted, could be allowing excessive air into the stomach.
Take a good look at your lifestyle if you burp frequently. A common cause of excessive burping is simply swallowing a
lot of air. Daily activities that can make you swallow great amounts of air are smoking, chewing gum, drinking
carbonated beverages and eating quickly.
