What could be the cause of non-stop burping with stomach pain?
Non-stop burping with stomach pain could be due to swallowing air or gallstone issues.
Explanation
Burping and stomach pain can be uncomfortable and may have different causes. One possible cause of burping is swallowing too much air, known as aerophagia. This can happen if you chew gum a lot or eat quickly. Another possible cause is gallstones, which can cause pain in your stomach area.
Possible Causes:
- Aerophagia: This is when you swallow a lot of air, which can lead to burping. Chewing gum can increase the amount of air you swallow.
- Gallstones: These are hard pieces that form in the gallbladder and can cause pain in your stomach area, when you eat.
If you have these symptoms, it might help to think about how you eat and if you chew gum. If you think you might have gallstones, it is important to talk to a healthcare professional.
