Possible causes
- Helicobacter pylori infection
Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, is a bacteria commonly found in the stomach of about half the world's population. Most people have no symptoms. However, H. pylori can cause digestive problems, including ulcers and, rarely, stomach cancer. H. pylori bacteria may spread through direct contact with saliva, vomit, feces, or contaminated food or water.
- Aerophagia
Excessive and repetitive air swallowing, resulting in burping and flatulence symptoms. It can be caused by psychological reasons, habits, or using machines that assist in breathing (CPAP machines).
- Gastritis
A condition where the stomach's surface lining is damaged, causing abdominal pain and discomfort. Causes include stress, overeating, excessive alcohol intake, and infection with the H. pylori bacteria.
- Bacterial gastroenteritis
CMPA (Cow's milk protein allergy)
