PREVENT BURPS AND BLOATS

Dr. K. A. Ramakrishna, Thursday, November 7, 2019

Burping, bloating and gas are not serious issues but can be very embarrassing and irritating. The gas is formed in the stomach and the intestines during the process of digestion. Bloating is the feeling of fullness in the abdomen. Burping is the release of air from the oesophagus through the mouth. A gastric specialist in Hyderabad will be able to treat you.


The foods that we consume cause this. Most of us pass gas or burp many times in a day. A little caution regarding the kinds of food you consume can relieve your problem. The causes of gas, burping and bloating can be treated at best gastroenterology hospitals in Hyderabad. The reasons for this include:

  • Foods and Beverages: They contribute to the formation of gas and the how much of gas is formed in each person differs.
  • Swallowed air: When chewing food we swallow air. When this is not burped it comes out through your anus as gas(flatus). Too much of swallowed air can also result in hiccups.
  • Lactose intolerance: A person who cannot digest lactose will experience gas and bloating.
  • Constipation: Constipation generally causes bloating but not gas.
  • Medicines or Nutritional supplements: They too add on to bloating or gas.
  • Bowel obstruction or Crohn’s disease: A medical condition such as this can also lead to gas.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes can also lead to bloating in women during the periods because of the retention of the fluid.
