How To Treat Burping Problem?

I m having persistent belching. This has been going on for about a week now. I ve had this problem before, and have been diagnosed with IBS a couple of years ago, have followed the prescribed diet, and have been taking probiotics to keep it under control. This has been working until now. I ve had a lot of other problems this year, but did not have the continual burping come back until now. Is there something I can take to get through this?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Burping or belching is way of body to expel out air from stomach whether it is due to excess swallowed air or produced because of food digestion or acid reflux or gastritis etc.

During deep breathing some amount of air get swallowed in stomach through esophagus.

Breathing exercises is good for your lung but whenever you take a deep breath, it must be taken with your nose only because even slight open mouth will allow the air to get swallowed and lead to belching.

In addition,you take out breath through nose very slowly while keeping lips pursed.

Eat high protein and easily digestive food rather than carbohydrates or fatty foods.Or take diet as you have been explained according to your irritable bowel syndrome.

Drink much of water will reduce belching.

Consult gastroenterologist if there is any underlying stomach problems like hiatus hernia,reflux esophagitis, gastritis, gastric ulcer.
