The burning sensation that you feel creeping up from your stomach into your throat after or during meals is heartburn. If you eat overly large meals or if you lay down right after eating, then you may be encouraging heartburn. Belching often accompanies heartburn as a sign of general digestive upset. Mylanta Gas and Gas-X are 2 of the more commonly available remedies. They help to dissolve and break apart any gas bubbles that make their way into your digestive system. Similar products, such as Beano, target the gas produced by particular foods. Many of these OTC medications also treat general flatulence as well. If you start to experience regular or extreme pain in your stomach or abdomen, then this could be a sign of a serious digestive problem. Loose or bloody stools can indicate the same thing. If you start to lose weight quickly, then the burping may be a sign that your body isn’t processing food correctly. Similarly, heartburn can cause mild pain in the chest area. But, it should never become extremely painful or radiating. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causes inflammation in the lining of the intestines and can result in excessive belching. To diagnose GERD, your doctor might slide a small, flexible camera tube down your throat to examine your digestive system. GERD can also cause heartburn and ulcers in the intestines.
