Why Am I Burping So Much and How Do I Fix It?

Why Am I Burping So Much and How Do I Fix It? Dr. J Live Q & A

Hey, guys! Let's talk about burping. Burping or belching is a normal body response, such as passing out gas or farting. Although these symptoms can sometimes interfere with our daily activities, they usually don't have severe underlying conditions.

What is burping? Burping is your body's way of getting rid of excess air from your (upper) digestive tract, containing carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen. The build-up of air is usually due to eating and chewing too quickly, smoking, drinking carbonated drinks, etc.

When does it become a problem? Even though burping is normal when it has additional symptoms like heartburn and abdominal pain, you might have aerophagia - swallowed air, gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or gastritis. With these factors, simple lifestyle changes such as slowing down when you eat, avoiding carbonated drinks (including beer), and stopping smoking can help you. Also, healthy foods, vitamins, and supplements can help you maintain a good gut and overall health.
