Content: Frequent burping and bloating are caused by excessive air swallowing when talking while eating, eating too fast, chewing a gum, drinking beverages containing carbon dioxide. It is significant that aerophagia can be normal and is not an alarm symptom as long as it is not accompanied by abdominal discomfort.

Conclusion: Treatment will be based on modification of the triggers. Pharmacological treatment contains medication that regulates gastrointestinal motility (Trimebutine, Domperidone, Itoprid, etc.) and carminative spasmolytic agents (Alverine + Simethicone, Pepsane-R, Mebeverine, Hyoscine Butylbromide, etc.). Treatment is different depending on the cause of the disease. In order to choose the most suitable treatment strategy a consultation by a specialist is needed.
