What causes bloating, acid reflux and belching?

Many people may not know what belching means. In fact, belching is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. In layman's terms, it refers to burping or hiccups. This situation usually occurs after a meal, so it is a common problem of the digestive tract, especially for example, reflux esophagitis, chronic gastritis, etc., these will all cause belching. According to traditional Chinese medicine, belching is the upward flow of Qi. The gas in the stomach moves upward and comes out from the throat. The sound produced is belching.
