Gastroenterologist Explains Causes of Frequent Burping and When to Seek Help

Burping is a normal process to release swallowed air, often after large meals or carbonated drinks. Dr. Vineet Kumar Gupta explains that frequent burping may indicate swallowing excess air (aerophagia) or an underlying digestive issue. Causes include eating quickly, talking while eating, chewing gum, smoking, or drinking fizzy drinks. He advises eating slowly, having smaller meals, and avoiding triggers to reduce symptoms and seek medical advice if needed.
