What is the reason for burping after eating

When we eat, we like to chat with our family while eating, and sometimes we suddenly burp while eating. Burping is not a pleasant feeling, and sometimes you clearly feel like you are burping, but after waiting for a while you still don’t see any reaction. Children tend to burp when eating. Some people say it is because their esophagus is narrow and they eat too fast. So what is the reason for sudden burping after eating?

The main causes of hiccups are:

1. Functional indigestion. There are many causes. Hiccups after meals are usually caused by gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract. They can help expel excess gas from the body and are beneficial to the human body. However, frequent hiccups are likely to be a sign of disease.

2. Chronic diseases. Hidden chronic gastritis, reflux esophagitis and other diseases can also cause frequent hiccups. Chronic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection can also cause hiccups. Hiccups can cause some stomach acid and bile to enter the esophagus, thereby irritating the esophageal mucosa. Over time, this may lead to esophageal cancer.

3. Obesity. Obesity can easily cause excessive pressure in the abdominal cavity and abdominal wall, and can also lead to hiccups.

Things to note when suppressing hiccups:

Diet is key. Avoid greasy and irritating foods, and avoid eating too much of foods that are difficult to digest, such as potatoes, corn, eggs, and hot-dried noodles.

Quit smoking, drinking, develop good living habits, avoid overeating and eating too much before going to bed;

You can take the approach of eating small and frequent meals;

Strengthen physical exercise;

Pay special attention to maintaining a happy mood and a good state of mind. Anxious or depressed mental states can cause changes in the secretion of certain hormones and autonomic nervous function in the body, weakening or even stopping gastrointestinal motility and secretion, leading to functional dyspepsia.

Drinking water bending method

Drink a few sips of warm water, swallow it slowly, and bend over 90 degrees 10 to 15 times. Because the stomach is closer to the diaphragm, it can warm the diaphragm from the inside. When you bend over, the internal organs will also massage the diaphragm, relieving diaphragm spasms and achieving the purpose of stopping hiccups.

Tongue sticking technique

When the hiccups continue, place a piece of clean gauze on your tongue and pinch your tongue with your fingers to stretch it outwards. At this time, you will feel gas rising in your abdomen and the hiccups will naturally disappear.

Use deep breathing techniques

For example, if you have hiccups while eating, you can stop eating and take a few deep breaths, which will usually stop the hiccups in a short time.

When hiccups occur frequently, you can press the "Shao Shang" points on both sides with your fingers or ask someone else to do so. The "Shao Shang" point is located on the radial side of the root of the thumb nail, about 0.6 cm away from the edge of the nail, at the junction of the black and white flesh. When pressing, a certain amount of force should be used so that the patient feels obvious pain. The patient can perform compression by alternating hands.
