Avoid Chewing Gum
Chewing gum is a common habit for many people and may be pleasurable to others. To some, it reduces and satisfies cravings during the day and may also mask odorous breath. But this so-called “healthy” habit can be upsetting the stomach.
Chewing or sucking gums and candies can make a person swallow more often, allowing more air to build up inside the stomach. In this case, it’s not the gum that causes more gas or bloating but the process of chewing it. Burping will occur because of the accumulated air. The remainder of the gas will be released through the anus.
Gum without sugar may also cause the digestive tract to produce more gas. It’s because some sugar-free gum is sweetened with carbohydrates and sugar alcohols such as xylitol, lactitol, and sorbitol that can create gas in the body.
Everyone has a unique tolerance to numerous artificial sweeteners, which have been linked to severe instances of diarrhea, cramps, and excess gas in the colon. Limiting these specific sweet intakes will help reduce constant burping, bloating, and discomfort.
