What Causes Constant Bloating, Flatulence And Burping?

Hi, I am farting more than 20 times a day, I burp a lot (around 20 times a day) and that is including 5 or more times of belching. I poop 4 or more times a day. My stomach is constantly bloating and it is because I am holding my farts in (I m in college most of my day). I drink a cup of milk everyday with my cereal at 8 am, I eat whole grain bread with peanut butter at 12pm, I eat a handful of nuts at, 3 bottles of water, an apple (or plum) at 12pm and white rice with meat and vegetables (or pasta with red sauce) either at 7pm or 10 pm. Please help me

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that there can be belching, burping,abdominal discomfort, bloating and farting is due to excess formation of intestinal gas formation..
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..

As it is a chronic cause 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.
