Symptoms

Burping up air from the stomach.

Causes

Belching is most frequently caused by bringing up air that was swallowed with the food and drink taken in. This is called aerophagia.

We normally have about a cupful of air in our stomach all the time. Every day, we swallow air and make some in our stomach (about 10 cupfuls in 24 hours). Because this is 9 cupfuls too many, we belch occasionally.

Treatments

Make a habit of not gulping down air as you eat. Just thinking about being more careful will help a lot.

Chew with your mouth closed, and do not talk while you are eating.

Do not eat foods which produce gas, such as beans, carbonated drinks, and beer.

Do not drink out of cans, bottles, or through a straw.

Avoid foods with high air content. This includes ice cream, beer, omelets, and whipped cream.
