What causes excessive burping?
Jan 16, 2020We are constantly swallowing air when we eat or drink something. This causes the stomach to get distended or expands it. The release of the swallowed air up the esophagus and out the mouth causes burping. Apart from that, we also burp as an aid to relieve the stomach after food intake. This is because people are used to the habit of burping if they have abdominal discomfort, and may burp to expel abdominal gas formed during digestion.
Burping triggers
Sometimes, certain factors can cause excessive and constant burping. These include:-
- Bad diet
Eating the wrong kinds of food can cause stomach indigestion, making stomach acids work extra hard to process the food. More gases are produced, increasing the amount of gas expelled as burps.
