What Causes Excessive Burping?

I am having excessive burping. I had a tooth extracted and it was one I always used for chewing. Now I find that I swallow air a lot when I cannot chew my food completely. Could that cause burping especially when I change positions, like getting up from sitting position???

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query excessive burping mainly due to changing positions is due to accumulation of gas due to too much swallowed air, which cause releasing the air to reduce the distention of the stomach due to belching . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods as it will leads to excessive acid production. Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food. Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals. If symptoms keeps on persisting, visit Gastroenterologist once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Avoid taking stress. Avoid pulses, chocolates, fatty food from diet. Take pro-kinetics such as Domperidon. Your symptoms will resolve.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
