What Is The Cause Of Burping After Meals?

Hi, I just have a random question. I've had this for a long time and it doesn't really bother me but it is weird. After I eat I burp and can it taste like whatever I ate and it normally comes with a liquid and bit and pieces of the food? It's gross but I just started wondering could this be a problem?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history, albeit short and specific.
There is burping after taking food and taste the food that is coming with some liquid, bits of pieces of food that you ate, it is gross but makes you wonder whether this is something to worry about...
Burping occurs due to the following reasons:
Fast eating and swallowing allows the air to be swallowed.
Stress and/or anxiety can increase aerophagia allowing more than normal air to be in the stomach proper.
Lax lower esophageal sphincter allows escape of the food particles and gastric juice to pass up the esophagus to come up, this can be called as GERD like.
Hence I would advise you the following:
PPI like Omeprazole.
Domperidone to tighten the lower esophageal sphincter.
Small frequent feed, never to have full stomach.
No alcohol or tobacco in any forms.
Avoid all the foods and beverages that cause such a problem.
This will solve your problems.
