Cut Back on Carbonated Beverages
Carbon dioxide can accumulate in the stomach after consuming carbonated beverages, resulting in bloating and burping.
People enjoy sipping on fizzy beverages. These carbonated beverages are more enticing to drink because of the fizz on the tongue, the stinging feeling, and the bubbles. However, carbonation gets through an unpleasant process because to make a fizzy drink, it needs to saturate a super cold liquid with carbon dioxide under high pressure. Its bubbles are composed of an infusion of water and small amounts of carbon dioxide during manufacturing.
The more carbon dioxide bubbles enter the digestive system, the more the body will have to expel the excess air inside the stomach. The amount of air may also increase if a person takes a drink too quickly. It allows pockets of surrounding air to be swallowed along with the beverage. Consuming large air bubbles with our carbonated drinks can cause esophageal discomfort. The swallowed air causes pressure in the abdomen or chest, which leads to frequent burping.
Intense and lengthy periods of gas occur as our stomach processes the liquids within. It causes mild to severe intestinal flatulence and discomfort, in addition to burping.
