How To Prevent Belching

Siamak Tabib (Gastroenterologist, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA) gives expert video advice on: How do I prevent belching?

How do I prevent belching?

In order to prevent belching, you need to eat at a slower pace to make sure that you're not swallowing air with each swallow of food. You need to figure out if raw vegetables are a big part of the diet and are producing more gas and discomfort. If there are certain types of medications that are causing irritation or indigestion and promoting belching, then these medicines should be looked into and possibly discontinued or changed. If there is constant heartburn or acid-reflux, allowing the passage of acid to come up from the stomach into the esophagus and also allowing easy access for gas to come up and allow belching, then this condition should be looked further into and treated in order to prevent further discomfort.
