Home Remedies To Stop Excessive Burping (Belching) | What You Can Do to Stop and Prevent Burping

Though it may be unpleasant for you and those around you, burping is a completely natural way to get rid of air swallowed during eating and drinking. It’s also known as belching or eructation.

Burping keeps your stomach from expanding too much from swallowed air. The air travels back up the esophagus, leading to an audible release that most people call a burp.

You might swallow air when you:

eat or drink too quickly
drink carbonated beverages
breathe rapidly
laugh
Foods high in starch, sugar, or fiber and issues with digestion or heartburn could also be to blame.

You can treat a burping episode with a few simple tricks. If gas, bloating, and burping interfere with your day often, though, it’s a good idea to see a doctor.
