Many after eating food faced such a problem as the accumulation of air in the stomach. Belching out air is a physiological phenomenon, but rather unpleasant, since air often has an admixture of an unpleasant smell (due to a food splitting in the stomach cavity). But do not forget that frequent, repetitive regurgitation of air with an admixture of unpleasant odor speaks about pathologies of the digestive tract.
Causes of the belching
To cause aerophagia at first sight in a healthy person can not only changes in diet and diet, but also many hidden anatomical features. The causes of belching are:
- Defects of the gastrointestinal tract, esophagus - stenosis of the gastric lumen, formed hernia or presence of an inflection.
- Changes in the contractile function of the digestive tract, which are preceded by the inflammatory process of the gastric mucosa, increased or decreased acidity. In addition, in the future it can cause a peptic ulcer or even cancer, so a particular pathology should be given special attention.
- Changes in liver function associated with impaired secretory function. In cases where there is an obstacle to a normal outflow of bile, there is an eructation, and there is a bitter taste in the mouth.
- Change in the operation of the pancreas and duodenal ulcers. In inflammatory processes in this system, few enzymes are released, which also provokes a prolonged eructation after eating - this is the first sign of inflammation of the pancreas and bile ducts.
- The development of pathological gastroesophageal reflux - a condition where the remnants of eaten on the eve come from the duodenum back into the stomach, and from there to the esophagus.
- Tumor disease of the gastrointestinal tract, both benign and malignant. Because of this, not only the secretion is disturbed, but peristalsis is also hampered, because of which food passes badly through the digestive tract.
In more rare cases, belching causes diseases of the cardiovascular system, diseases of the central nervous system, as well as helminthic invasion (giardiasis, ascariasis, toxocarosis).
Apparently, there are a lot of causes of aerophagia, therefore, in addition to changing the diet, it is necessary to visit the doctor and undergo the necessary studies.
Eating belly after eating
During the meal, a small amount of air can enter the stomach cavity and this can cause a rare physiological eructation, which is quite normal. But belching after the meal can be repeated many times, which means more serious violations. For example:
- Inflammation of the pancreas in the acute phase or flaccid chronic form of pancreatitis.
- Tumors of the esophagus of a malignant or benign plan.
- Inflammation of the bulb of the duodenum.
- Functional dysfunction in the gallbladder.
- Inflammation of the gastric mucosa, increased acidity.
- Inflammatory process on the mucosa of the esophagus.
In addition, repeated belching after eating can also talk about other problems, for example intolerance to certain foods or drinks, abuse of soda, chewing gum, overeating, bowels, congenital GI defects, high nervous tension, chronic stress.
If the eructation of air after eating has become familiar, repetitive or accompanied by an unpleasant odor, it is necessary to ask a specialist for help as soon as possible in order to eliminate the root cause and such an unpleasant symptom as eructation.
[5]
Constant belching of air
If after each meal the constant belching of the air is disturbed and even after some time after it the eructation still does not pass, then this is a good reason to think about the failure of the digestive tract. The reason for this phenomenon can be:
- violation of the food system, neglect of diet;
- neurotic disorder, provoking aerophagy;
- pathological changes in the organs of the digestive tract, both congenital and acquired (diaphragmatic hernia, which provokes problems in the work of the lower food sphincter, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, gastroesophageal reflux, pancreatitis, duodenitis, cholecystitis);
- in rare cases, belching is an indirect symptom of cardiovascular pathologies (ischemia, arrhythmia, heart defects).
What about the physiologically arising eructation, then its causes in the wrong meal. That is, if you talk with food, quickly swallow food, badly chewing while the amount of swallowed air increases at the same time, which causes belching. Also, the reason may be overeating and poorly combining products or products that provoke the formation of gas during the splitting - eggs, meat, legumes, asparagus, milk, cabbage, then the eructation will not take long.
Physiologically normal can be considered and constant belching of pregnant women, beginning with the second half of pregnancy - the reason lies in the pressure of the bottom of the uterus on the diaphragm.
Burring air without odor
Physiologically arising aerophagy is completely harmless. Eiling an odorless air usually occurs in the following circumstances:
- With fast, hasty eating - with such dynamics, the percentage of swallowed air increases.
- The habit of talking during meals can not only lead to ingestion of food in the respiratory tract, but will also provoke eructation.
- The habit of overeating.
- Abuse of soda, chewing gum.
- Excessive physical loads immediately after eating - this harms the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, disrupts the secretion of the enzymatic components of gastric juice, and also reduces the digestion of food and the quality of its digestion.
- Pregnancy. In late pregnancy, hiccups and belching in women are common, and the reason is pressure on the diaphragm of the bottom of the growing uterus.
The abnormally arising eructation of air without odor occurs when:
- Gastrointestinal tumors;
- congenital pathologies - birth defects - bends, hernias, etc;
- inflammatory processes of organs zhkt - pancreatitis, gastritis, duodenitis, bulbits;
- much less often a belching is accompanied by diseases of the nervous system and cardiovascular pathologies.
If the odor-free belching of the air begins to appear more often, regardless of food intake and is accompanied by pain in the chest, stomach or right upper quadrant, then it is necessary to ask a specialist for help as soon as possible. These symptoms can talk about very serious diseases.
Nausea and belching with air
Often, a malfunction in the digestive system says nausea and belching. The appearance of these symptoms individually can be relatively harmless, for example, belching occurs when ingesting air, drinking soda, or chewing gum for a long time. Nausea, of course, is a more serious symptom, but it is not necessarily an indicator of a serious illness.
If the eructation is accompanied by severe nausea, this indicates several reasons:
- Fast, low-quality chewing food.
- In addition to problems with the gastrointestinal tract caused by inflammation of the mucous membranes of the stomach, duodenum, esophagus, attack of pancreatitis and duodenitis, nausea can be a manifestation of psychosomatic abnormalities. This includes the expressed fears, depressive states. If the main cause is eliminated, then gastroenterological symptoms will come to naught.
- If nausea is accompanied by pain in the abdomen, swelling, heartburn, then this indicates a very dangerous disease - peptic ulcer.
- If nausea and eructations are accompanied by a slight swelling, sometimes with a temperature, then this indicates inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
- Nausea, belching with air, bitterness in the mouth, and sometimes vomiting can speak about gastroduodenitis.
Nausea and belching with air - if these two symptoms appear simultaneously, then postpone the trip to the gastroenterologist can not be postponed. All diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are much easier to treat at the initial stage, in order to further rid themselves of serious complications in the future.
Pain in the stomach and belching with air
Pain refers to changes in the performance of an organ or an entire system. If the pains in the stomach and the belching of the air become more frequent, this is the first alarm bell, which speaks of serious problems with digestion. The reasons for this problem are as follows:
- Stomach ulcer. It is accompanied by severe heartburn, stinging pain. After eating, these symptoms stop worrying.
- Inflammation of the pancreas - this disease is accompanied by severe pain syndrome, dyspeptic disorders, nausea, eructations.
- Presence in the anamnesis of chronic cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), its acute phase. Accompanied by aching pain in the epigastrium and right hypochondrium, nausea, bitterness in the mouth, fever subfebrile.
- Inflammation of the duodenal mucosa and bulbitis.
- Cancer of the stomach. Sharp weight loss, weakness, epigastric pain, vomiting, often with blood.
Only on two symptoms - pains in the stomach and belching it is impossible to put an accurate diagnosis and the more contraindicated to engage in self-medication. The first thing you need to do is apply for a consultation with a gastroenterologist and go through all the necessary tests and a detailed instrumental examination. Any disease is much easier to heal at an early stage and only thus can the appearance of severe complications be prevented.
Belching and heaviness in the stomach
Diseases of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract develop gradually and are usually preceded by certain symptoms. One of the first alarming signs is an eructation of air and a heaviness in the stomach.
A feeling of heaviness can be caused by several reasons, the most common of which is:
- heaviness due to overeating. When in one sitting a person eats a daily norm of food, this affects the speed and quality of digestion, respectively, nausea, heaviness and eructation do not make you wait long;
- lack of food hygiene - fast eating of food and preference for snacks in bistros and facades;
- abuse of alcoholic beverages and tobacco - this leads to irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa and digestive problems;
- addiction to fatty, fried foods and smoked foods is a very heavy food, and it is not always easy for a healthy person to cope with it, and in case of problems with enzyme production, even more so;
- abuse of high-carb products, soda, and the use of heavy products - pork, lamb, mushrooms, eggs, mayonnaise;
- stressful situations and high mental load;
- presence in the anamnesis of chronic forms of GIT diseases;
- dyspeptic disorders - the accumulation of gases in the stomach and intestines, poured burning pains throughout the stomach, a feeling of nausea after eating and eructation eaten by the day before the products, most often acidic.
If belching and air in the stomach appear even after eating light food, at rest, then without consulting a specialist can not do without. It is better to contact the gastroenterologist as soon as possible and find out the root cause of these symptoms, and then go through a comprehensive treatment.
Egg belching and bloating
With improper nutrition and abuse of some products, belching and bloating appear, especially during the festive feast. Most often, the appearance of these symptoms is not preceded by malaise, so it is sufficient to observe several rules to avoid the recurrence of the problem:
- eat in a calm environment, do not rush, do not drink down food during the meal. Drink or before meals, or 30-40 minutes after it;
- do not forget that the first dishes contribute to the normalization of digestion due to the fact that stimulate the secretion of gastric juice with the necessary number of enzymes. And in order to avoid increased gas formation, one should not forget about the second dish;
- Do not eat fruit dessert or fresh vegetables immediately after eating, as this stimulates the secretion of gastric juice, and its excess after the main dish also leads to increased gas production;
- binge eating. It is better to eat less, but more often - so the burden on the stomach will decrease and there will be more chances that all useful elements will be absorbed.
Among other causes of belching and bloating - enzymatic deficiency and diseases of the gallbladder and its ducts. In the first case it is possible to resort to the help of enzymatic preparations, but they must be taken with caution, since with prolonged intake, the natural production of enzymes may be inhibited. In addition, in both cases, in addition to compliance with the diet will have to resort to medical treatment, appointed individually by a gastroenterologist.

An eructation of air in the morning
In a normal state, a small amount of air is always accumulated in the stomach cavity. This is due to the fact that during the process of digestion food is fermented, and the released gases during the day go through the mouth. This air performs several important functions:
- Stimulation of gastric motility.
- Stimulation of the secretory function of the stomach.
However, with inflammatory processes of the upper gastrointestinal tract, the air accumulates in a much larger amount, which causes a repeated eructation, including the eructation of air in the morning.
Causes - neurological conditions (fears, experiences, severe stress, which a person can not cope with) or GI disease associated with a violation of the contractile function of the gatekeeper. Morning aerophagy can also be in healthy people.
Separately, we should also consider the appearance of morning aerophagy in pregnant women. In this situation, this is explained by the fact that in the second half of pregnancy the bottom of the growing uterus begins to press on the diaphragm and intra-abdominal pressure rises. This is not a painful condition, so no special treatment is required.
If the eructation of air in the morning is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, weakness, weight loss, heartburn, sensation of a foreign body in the esophagus or stomach, this indicates very serious problems with the gastrointestinal tract. The first thing you need to do is contact the specialist as soon as possible and take a survey.
Egg belching at night
Belching refers to those symptoms that occur after eating and, depending on its nature, it can be assumed that it is the root cause. Eating belly at night is often acidic, and this is due to the pellet contents of the stomach in the esophagus. Call it, as a rule, heavy products - fatty meat, smoked products, mushrooms, etc. In the future this condition can progress, accompanied by severe heartburn, which leads to erosive gastritis and peptic ulcer.
The most common causes are inflammation of the gastric mucosa after gastroenterocolitis, pituitary hypotension, violation of diet, abuse of foods that stimulate the secretion of gastric juice.
To diagnose the root cause, you need a specialist consultation - you should consult a gastroenterologist or a therapist, if necessary, and an infectious disease specialist (if you suspect an infectious gastroenterocolitis). Confirm the diagnosis can be on the blood indicators, and after the fibrogastroduodenoscopy, manometry.
With the observance of diet and medical recommendations, belching at night will cease to be a problem and the work of the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract will be completely restored.
[14]
Diarrhea and belching with air
An eructation with an unpleasant odor of rotten eggs and dyspepsia are the key symptoms manifested in somatic and infectious diseases, food poisoning. It explains diarrhea and belching of air by the violation of the process of digestion of food, because of what it stagnates in the stomach, rotting and fermentation activates and the compounds of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide are released. Collecting, the gases burst the stomach, which causes the diaphragm to contract, the abdominal press and food particles along with the air are thrown into the esophagus. Some of the gases enter the intestines, causing it to swell, resi and diarrhea.
The above symptoms are caused directly by digestive problems that occur for the following reasons:
- Non-compliance with dietary norms, abuse of soda and alcohol.
- Development of gastrointestinal infections, intoxications.
- The action of plant and medicament poisons.
- Violation of the functions of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas (pancreatitis, duodenitis, bulbits).
- Benign and malignant tumors of the stomach, esophagus, intestines.
- Congenital anatomical anomalies - diverticula, excesses, underdevelopment of organs.
Diarrhea and belching of the air signal about very serious abnormalities in the digestive tract (digestion, absorption, motility), which adversely affects the general condition, causing vitamin deficiency, exhaustion and associated systemic diseases requiring urgent treatment.
Egg belching in pregnancy
Pregnancy for every woman is the most touching, responsible and partly the most difficult period in life. In the measure of physiological changes, the period of gestation is accompanied by a poor state of health (nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, heaviness in the legs and lower back, sometimes varicose veins). If the nausea passes in the first half of the gestation together with toxicosis, then belching with air during pregnancy can accompany the future mother right up to the delivery.
The causes of eructation during this period are as follows:
- Hormonal restructuring of the body.
- Fetal growth and pressure of the uterine fundus on the diaphragm, which leads to compression and displacement of the stomach and intestines.
- Exacerbation of existing chronic diseases of the upper GI tract.
- Overeating, non-compliance with the diet for pregnant women and a low-activity lifestyle.
Coping with the discomfort of aerophagy can be followed by a few simple rules. It is right to eat - do not eat a lot of sweet, flour, sour, fatty meat. It is more to move and walk, rest in the most comfortable position, avoiding sharp turns from side to side and a long stay in a horizontal position.
From the use of too acidic foods, belching air during pregnancy can bring maximum discomfort, so the best way to get rid of it is to balance the diet, preferring dairy products, baked apples and boiled vegetables.

An eructation of air in a child
In infancy, belching in children is a normal physiological phenomenon - ingestion of air helps normalize intragastric pressure. The digestive system of the baby is not yet adapted, so after eating the air lingers in the cavity of the stomach, provoking an intestinal spasm. This gives the child a lot of discomfort, he fits and cries until he bites. To belch the air in a child does not provoke colic, it is recommended after feeding to hold the baby vertically on hands.
If the child is too nervous and often cries, then it is necessary to prepare the baby for feeding by first playing with it and calming, and pausing during the feeding process so that it can regurgitate. If a belch appears in a child after a year of life, then you need to seek additional advice from a pediatrician.
The causes of eructations in children:
- malnutrition, nutrition is not age-appropriate;
- excessive excitability of the child when combining a game or watching a cartoon with eating;
- proliferation of adenoids, development of chronic tonsillitis and rhinitis.
In the preschool and early school age, belching can be associated with gastritis, hepatitis, duodenitis, which requires timely diagnosis and comprehensive treatment at an early stage.
[19]
Pathogenesis
Normally, the eructation occurs after hastily consumed food, due to ingestion of food during the meal. This physiological phenomenon is called aerophagia and is not a deviation from the norm. The main causes of this condition are:
- Overeating, especially when insufficient production of gastric enzymes.
- Eating, accompanied by conversations - the process also swallows a lot of air.
- The use of carbonated drinks in large quantities.
- High physical loads immediately after eating - while violating the natural peristalsis of the digestive tract, so it is better to refrain from the loads for a couple of hours.
- Frequent use of chewing gum. This provokes a violation of the motility of the stomach and leads not only to belching, but also regurgitation of food particles.
- At the end of the second trimester of pregnancy - the beginning of the third eructation in women appears due to the fact that the bottom of the uterus presses against the diaphragm.
- Swallowing air when sucking in babies. For babies, burp after feeding is also common, it is enough to put the baby to the breast right enough to eliminate this problem.
If you do not hurry to eat food, chew it well, observe the regime of the day, eat well, then belching with air will not be so often and inappropriate to make itself felt.
Symptoms of the belching
Aerophagy is not always a pathology - a single repetitive eructation after a meal suggests that there is nothing wrong with the motility of the stomach. But if the eructation is repeated regardless of food intake, has a sour taste, accompanied by a strong swelling of the abdomen and an unpleasant odor, this indicates serious problems with the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of belching air, talking about pathology:
- rotten belch - says of the putrefactive process in the stomach, which develops when stagnation is eaten the day before. It happens with gastritis with low acidity, malignant tumors;
- sour eructation - speaks of gastritis, high acidity, which precedes gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer;
- bitter eructation - says that bile is thrown into the stomach cavity, which can not normally be. It happens with such a functional disorder as reflux and cholecystitis;
- burping without a smell indicates a non-compliance with the diet, a predilection for soda and gum. Less often - with genyantritis, runny nose (when due to the inability to breathe through the nose, a lot of air is swallowed).
If the burp delivers discomfort and is accompanied by pain, weakness, nausea, then you need to see the doctor as soon as possible.
Diagnostics of the belching
Attention to other associated symptoms is a key method in research and searching for the root cause of eructation. Diagnosis of burping air occurs in several stages - a survey, the appointment of analyzes, additional laboratory and instrumental methods of research.
In the course of the survey, a general picture of the development of the disease is established, the fact of manifestation of other symptoms - dyspeptic disorders, pain, gastric bleeding, pain in the right hypochondrium, etc., is specified.
To laboratory and instrumental methods, which have an important diagnostic value, include:
- conducting a general blood test, a general urine test;
- blood tests and glucose measurements;
- determination of the level of electrolytes in the blood;
- the detection in the blood of antibodies to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
If there is a suspicion of a peptic ulcer, gastritis, then prescribe fibrogastroduodenoscopy. For the detection of ulcerative lesions of the mucosa and tumors, X-rays are taken with a contrast agent. Ezofagofibroscopy is prescribed for suspected hypothyroid pylorus. Another way to diagnose the acidity of the contents of the stomach is to perform an intra-esophageal pH measurement. If suspicion of cholecystitis and duodenitis is prescribed ultrasound, which allows to determine the nature of the disease and the degree of functional disorder.

Treatment of the belching
If the cause of eructation is a banal non-compliance with the diet or other nutritional problems, then it is sufficient to follow certain preventive measures:
- it is good to chew food and not rush;
- do not use chewing gum;
- drink as little as possible soda or completely eliminate it from the diet;
- limit or exclude products that contribute to the formation of gases (abandon legumes, cabbage, asparagus, corn, etc.)
- eat on the regime - often and portioned, do not overeat.
Urgent for the treatment of burping and alternative methods. For example, a decoction of yarrow leaves, peppermint, fennel seeds, St. John's wort. To prepare, you need to take each component in a 1: 1 ratio, combine two tablespoons of the mixture and pour 500 ml. Hot water. Infuse 120 minutes, then drain and drink all day, in small portions of 30-50 ml.
If the eructation is accompanied by nausea, pain in epigastrium, hypochondria, hypochondria, temperature, then you should immediately consult a doctor to clarify the diagnosis, carry out the necessary tests and, if necessary, additional examination. Only after obtaining the necessary data on the functional state of the gastrointestinal tract is prescribed conservative treatment of belching with air, including a diet and a plan for taking medications.
Medications for belching air
Depending on how often burping is disturbed and what precedes its occurrence and the appropriate medicine is prescribed for belching out air. If the eructation is not caused by pathology and is of a short-term nature, then there is no need for drug treatment, in rare cases (when overeating, eating heavy foods), one can turn to enzyme preparations. However, one must remember that frequent intake of enzyme-containing drugs affects their natural production and can lead to their complete inhibition. Therefore, self-treatment in this situation is excluded.
Pathological eructation often occurs with diseases of the upper gastrointestinal organs, accompanied by high acidity, heartburn. In such cases, appoint Almagel, Gastal, Rennie - these drugs normalize the level of hydrochloric acid and have an analgesic, enveloping effect. Gastal also reduces the likelihood of constipation.
If the aerophagia appears due to peptic ulcer, then the most suitable drugs are De-Nol, Omez. They belong to the category of antiulcer drugs with astringent antimicrobial and gastro-cytoprotective effect.
Motillac is prescribed for weak motility of the walls of the stomach and intestines - it helps to quickly form a food lump and push it down the lower gastrointestinal tract.
The medicine can be prescribed by the doctor only after all necessary tests and diagnosis have been made. Self-medication can cause irreparable harm to health.
Treatment of belching with alternative methods
Such a phenomenon as a burp usually does not cause a lot of discomfort, but when it becomes permanent and occurs regardless of food intake, this is a good reason to think about your health.
Treating air belching with alternative methods is one of the most affordable options that do not require special expenses. However, before you start taking this or that medicine, you need to consult your doctor - so you can avoid the attendant complications.
If the cause of eructation in the stomach problem, the following remedy will help: a fourth of a teaspoon of soda is diluted in a glass of water and drunk. This remedy will help get rid of sour eructations and heartburn.
Also, with acid reflux, a crushed rhizome of ayr helps, you need to take it for 0.5 teaspoon 15-20 minutes before eating. No less effective result is a mixture of potato and carrot juice in a 1: 1 ratio. Drink a glass of this liquid 15-20 minutes before meals, before each meal.
Cooking freshly squeezed juice can be difficult, so for a more dynamic lifestyle, you can try another option - eat after eating an apple or carrot. You can drink a little warm water before eating.
If the acidity of the gastric juice is lowered or zero, then when there is no exacerbation, warm water reception with the addition of a teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of juice from the leaves of plantain will help. It is enough to drink a quarter cup before each meal.
But do not forget that treating belching with alternative methods is always a risk, and any rash decision in this matter can be very expensive for health.
When belching with air
The normalization of the diet and the quality of the products is the main ingredient on the road to health. Diet with belching should exclude the food that stimulates or vice versa, slows down the secretion of enzymes. This category includes smoked meat and fish, fried, spicy dishes, sour dressings and sauces, fast food. Good on the motility of the stomach and intestines will affect vegetable food, meat and fish dishes for a couple, some vegetables and fruits. But it is important to remember that you can not load your stomach and try to eat everything in one sitting - you need to eat portionwise.
If you are concerned about belching a rotten egg, then this indicates the accumulation of hydrogen sulfide in the stomach. It is formed by the breakdown of some proteins, in particular they are found in canned foods, poultry, red meat, eggs, milk, asparagus, peas, lentils, corn, so it is better to temporarily exclude these products, and then simply not abuse them in the diet.
Also, the cause of burping of rotten eggs after eating can be with excessive bacterial growth - this leads to a violation of the flora of the intestine. Also, burping of rotten eggs happens when lactose and fructose are not digested, under such conditions as Crohn's disease, celiac disease. Food at the same time can not be digested and in the process take part sulfur bacteria, because of which a large amount of hydrogen sulphide is released.
Prevention
If the eructation continues to create discomfort, and fibroadastroscopy has not revealed serious pathologies, then it is necessary to look for a way out of the situation in the simplest way. Compliance with diet and diet - the best prevention of belching air.
- The daily norm of food should be consumed several times without overeating. Do not forget that any dish should be slowly and thoroughly chewed.
- The last meal should be at least two hours before bedtime.
- It's better to give up fried foods - it's pretty heavy food, but there is an alternative - you can cook your favorite dishes in the oven or just stew them, if necessary, after frying quickly.
- Unloading days also have a positive effect on the body - light food will not only help in cleaning the gastrointestinal tract, but will help improve intestinal motility.
- Activity. Walking, cycling, running, swimming will also help to improve the tone and harmonious work of all body systems.
- Do not self-medicate. Abuse of enzyme preparations can play a cruel joke - the body quickly becomes accustomed to them and the stomach stops producing enzymes on its own. And this inhibits the process of digesting food and causes eructations.
Forecast
A rare eructation as a physiological phenomenon is not a cause for concern, but if this condition is permanent, then the forecast of belching air may change. Nevertheless, in the prevailing majority the forecast even for permanent aerophagy is favorable. The easiest way to get rid of the problem is to monitor what is used for food, and most importantly how. This includes not only the usual menu and diet, but also in what manner people are accustomed to using the usual dishes (hurriedly or not, chewing or eating on the move, combining the products depending on the assimilation or prefer fast food and high-calorie food). Even if a particular problem is physically easily tolerated by a person, then at the psychological level it brings a lot of problems - it is a constant discomfort due to the accumulating air, and a sense of shame, especially if it occurs in a public place.
If you revise your attitude to nutrition, if necessary adjust the diet, then the problem of regurgitation of air can completely be eliminated. Of course, if the problem lies in the disease, then only diet therapy can not do, will have to seek help from a doctor. In Dependence on the root cause, you will either need to undergo a course of drug treatment, or you need a combined approach (surgical removal of the tumor or hernia and further medication support until the GI function is fully restored). In short, if you eradicate the main problem, then such unpleasant symptoms as eructation will pass.
