What is belching

Belching is a common phenomenon in life, which is commonly known as hiccups or burping. Everyone is very familiar with belching. We have all experienced belching. When belching occurs frequently, you should pay attention to it. It may be a gastrointestinal problem. At this time, you should adjust your eating and living habits in time and try to eat less food that causes belching.

Belching, which is what we often call hiccups in our daily life, has a great impact on the patient's work and life. Therefore, prevention should be the main focus for belching. Avoid eating raw, cold and indigestible foods. Be careful to eat less sweets and sour foods, because sweetness can fill the stomach and easily cause belching. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping out cold and moisture, and avoid getting cold. In particular, you should protect the stomach to prevent the Zhongyang from being damaged. In addition, pay attention to regulating your temperament, don't hold grudges, and be cheerful. For the tedious matters encountered in life, you should pay attention to resolving them and don't always keep them in your heart. At the same time, we should actively treat spleen and stomach diseases to ensure early recovery. This is also a positive measure to prevent belching.

If the swallowed air reaches the small intestine and large intestine and stays there, it will cause a feeling of stuffiness. Chemical changes in food during digestion can also cause these symptoms, and the intestines may feel bloated. Rumbling sounds in the abdomen indicate the presence of intestinal gas, which is medically known as borborygmus.

The belched gas is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, while the rectal gas is composed of five gases, in addition to nitrogen and oxygen, there are hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. The last three are produced by the bacteria in the colon to ferment undigested food residues (especially carbohydrates). The smell of rectal gas is added at this time. To reduce rectal gas that causes bloating, drink liquids slowly instead of gulping them, keep a calm mind when eating, chew your food slowly, swallow it slowly, and don't eat too much at one time. Activated charcoal can absorb excess gas and help eliminate symptoms, but it may combine with other medications the patient is taking or interfere with the absorption of essential minerals, so you must consult a doctor before taking activated charcoal.

Prevention of belching

1. Do not eat spicy food:

Spicy foods, such as red peppers, can add a wonderful spicy flavor to food, but they can also disturb the esophagus, causing patients to experience heartburn and lead to belching.

2. Fried food is not easy to digest

It will increase the burden on the digestive tract, eating too much will cause indigestion, and it will also increase blood lipids, which is not good for health. Patients with belching should try to eat more.

3. Eat more stomach-nourishing foods:

Pumpkin, detoxifying and stomach-protecting. The rich pectin contained in pumpkin can "absorb" bacteria and toxic substances, playing a detoxifying role. At the same time, pectin can protect the stomach from irritation and reduce ulcers.

4. Eat less beans:

Beans are rich in nutrients, but they can also cause belching and other problems. Patients are advised to avoid them as much as possible.

5. Maintain a positive attitude

Mentality plays a big role in treating diseases. I hope that patients with belching can stabilize their emotions and maintain a good mentality.
