Belching, causes, treatment, folk remedies

Many of us have a misconception about such a phenomenon as eructation, considering it one of the characteristics of your body. But it can testify to the presence of an intestinal disease. Therefore, if this phenomenon is permanent, especially after a meal, it is recommended to consult a specialist to avoid a serious illness, as a regular eructation indicates a malfunction in the body.



Causes of eructation and its types.
An eructation is a sudden phenomenon, manifested in a one-time release or secretions by small portions of gas from the stomach through the mouth. Being in a normal state, the stomach has a gas, through which the stimulation of its secretory and motor function is carried out, and which goes unnoticed through the person's mouth. In the case of excessive ingestion of air, there is an increase in intragastric pressure, a contraction of the stomach muscle and a simultaneous relaxation of the flapper (sphincter) located between the esophagus and stomach, and the compression of the flap between the duodenum and stomach, which leads to the eruption of air.

An eructation of air today bothers many people. The reasons for its appearance may be an excess of gas formation in the stomach (against the background of taking certain foods, namely peas, milk, cabbage, fresh bread, carbonated drinks), as well as swallowing the air from the outside (fast food intake, dry food, carbonated drinks, food in a hurry, conversations during meals, treatment with oxygen cocktails , etc.). Emerging against the background of these causes, belching air is easily prevented by normalizing the diet. Namely, meals during the day should be at least four or five, while this should be done in a calm environment and whenever possible at the same time. In addition, it is not recommended to overeat, as it causes a heaviness in the stomach and leads to an increase in pressure inside the stomach, and as a consequence, to the occurrence of this unpleasant problem. Also it is necessary to remove or substantially limit the use of products that lead to increased gas production. Do not drink carbonated drinks during and immediately after meals. Mineral water should be opened beforehand to remove carbon dioxide. After eating for fifteen minutes, active walking, lying down, or sitting immediately afterwards is not recommended.

In addition to belching air can be observed burping food, during which a small amount of stomach contents in liquid form are released into the oral cavity in combination with the gas. Such an eructation can be sour, bitter or putrid. Get rid of this phenomenon is much more difficult than from belching air, as it is usually accompanied by diseases of the stomach and duodenum. Sour eructation, which usually occurs with peptic ulcer, causes increased acidity of the contents of the stomach due to excessive secretion of gastric juice or fermentation in the absence of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice.

A bitter eructation appears against the background of the throwing of bile into the stomach from the duodenum. In cases where food lasts a long period of time in the stomach, the putrefactive decomposition of its contents (stenosis of the pylorus) can occur, resulting in a putrefactive regurgitation.

Eating belly eggs is observed against the stagnation of food in the stomach and its decomposition, resulting in the formation of hydrogen sulphide and ammonia, which cause an unpleasant odor. This phenomenon can be a sign of stomach cancer or observed with stenosis of the pylorus against the background of permanent exacerbations of peptic ulcer. That is why when you have burping eggs, it is very important to consult a doctor to determine the cause of this phenomenon.

Often, "rotten" belch is an early manifestation of exacerbation of chronic atrophic (hypoecretory) gastritis. Already later, heaviness and feeling of overflow in the stomach, pain in the pit of a nagging character, nausea, regurgitation join it.

When a frequent eructation, regardless of its nature, should consult a doctor to find out the cause and, if necessary, undergo a course of treatment.

As a rule, to eliminate such an unpleasant phenomenon, the treatment of the underlying disease is prescribed, since it is useless to treat an eructation directly. When passing a treatment course, a certain diet is prescribed to the patient. In cases of hypersecretion of gastric juice antacids are used (to reduce acidity).

Belching, as a sign of disease.
An eructation in people with good health is a very rare phenomenon. Too often, the appearance of this phenomenon can indicate the diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder. In addition, it is the main symptom of conditions associated with a violation in the mechanism of closure of the sphincter located between the esophagus and the stomach. Similar conditions can be observed after surgery on the stomach or in the presence of a diffractive hernia. In the presence of duodenal disease, belching air is observed in most cases.

Egg rash can be a sign of an atrophic gastritis.

An eructation of air may well indicate an aerophagy or a neurosis of the stomach. Such a phenomenon can arise reflexively against the background of diseases of the abdominal cavity (gallbladder, liver) and various diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Treating eructations.
The treatment of eructations is aimed at eliminating the main cause of its causing. In particular, to restore the mode of food intake, rationalize nutrition, restore the nervous and mental state, remove food from the diet, which contributes to the enhancement of gas formation. If the above measures do not help, the doctor conducts an examination and prescribes appropriate treatment.

In the treatment of eructation, you can use the recipes of traditional medicine. In particular, freshly squeezed vegetable juices (cabbage, beets), which accelerate the healing of ulcers and contribute to a decrease in the acidity of gastric juice. To increase the acidity of gastric juice effectively use plantain and beans. Antacids and adsorbents are prescribed to reduce the appearance of the eructation.

With increased secretion of gastric juice, which is one of the causes of frequent eructations, alkaline mineral water, magnesia, etc. are prescribed drugs of alkaline action.

Folk remedies eradication.
You can use folk remedies only when the cause of the eructation is accurately established.
