Excessive Belching?

[tracey*]

I did a search but didn't find anything specific

I've been gluten free for months now, but in the past 4 or 5 days I've been belching every 5-10 mins or so. Not huge burps or anything, but tiny air escapes I guess. (No 'downstairs' air escapes, lol). I don't look or feel bloated.

I'm exercising as per usual and haven't changed my gluten-free diet, I don't drink soda or anything carbonated at all, so I'm not sure why it's started

Anyone experience the same?

I don't think it's a major problem, it's just getting annoying and weird

I found some good sites on belching/burping. I am prone ot it and it's a pms symptom for me

I think its cause I do get more moody/anxious at that time and I swallow air. I did some reading and whan I actually paid attention to what I was doing - that is when I realized I likely swallow air

It is clear that some individuals swallow too much air into the stomach. Eating quickly, gulping food or beverages, and other habits such as drinking through a straw, chewing gum, sucking on hard candy or wearing loose fitting dentures may contribute to excessive air swallowing. People also swallow more frequently, and swallow more air, when they are nervous. Air can also be swallowed and released voluntarily as many people are able to belch at will. In some people, excessive belching has become a learned behavior, or habit, that initially may have been associated with some relief of indigestion symptoms, but now continues almost unconsciously.

Funny you say that.. I started back on my B vitamins 2 days ago ... It didn't happen when I was on them before

I found that info last night ... I don't eat or drink fast at all, lol, and I don't chew gum or drink with straws etc.. I think it's interesting though - it might just be something I do now - swallow extra air! That's funny it's a PMS symptom for you hehe

Thanks for your replies x

I have been bothered by this for the past couple of days. I'll even wake up because I have to burp. It actually wakes me up because it just sits at the top of my stomach and I have to release it. Thanks for that site Sandy I'm wondering if I swallow air now. Heck I'm always nervous its my middle name. Now I'm going to be conscience of swallowing lol. Ok how not to swallow consentrate opps See its better I don't know these things.

If air wasn't free I'd want my money back

I get that when I'm sick - I end up swallowing air when my nose gets plugged up or is running or otherwise not clear. Quite annoying.

The B vitamin said to take it 10 mins before food, but I think that's what my problem is. So I took it today with 2 mouthfuls of food - just so that my stomach is not completely empty

We'll see how it goes ...

My mom has had celiac disease 50 years. She has had this problem my whole life. She gets relief from a gas x these days. It's never gone away no matter wha she's tried. I vomit and cough. Today we talked about how we both use our thoughts a bit of biofeedback to suppress theses symptoms until we are in a socially acceptable place, just like people with torrets.
