What Could Cause Frequent Belching?

Hi, I have this problem where I keep belching all the time. I used to get a lot of hiccups but now they've evolved into belches that can be quite embarassing. I must be swallowing air, but I keep trying to monitor my swallowing in an attempt to limit swallowing air but I keep having big belches... help!

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of belching all the time indicates that you are suffering from excess intestinal gas formation that is leading to expulsion of gas through mouth causing belching..

It can occur due to number of causes like:
-Intake of certain foods..
-Eating too fast that can entrap excess of air.
-Lactose intolerance, excess intake of dairy.
-Diseases like Crohn's Disease.
-Bacterial infection in intestines.
-Constipation..
-Frequent chewing of chewing gums and sucking candies..
-Excess intake of dairy etc..

You need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you investigations like Endoscopy, blood tests, stool culture etc to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the cause can resolve the problem..

-As you are doing regular workouts it is a good practice..
-You should also take walk after meals..
-You should take small portions of food every 2 hours.
-Avoid heavy and large fatty meals..
-You should also limit intake of frizzy drinks, smoking and excess chewing gums..
-You can take Simethicone as it help in reducing intestinal gas..
-Activated charcoal pills can be helpful..
-Drink sufficient water..
-chew your food slowly and properly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
