Increased Burps or Flatus (Gas)
Burping and gas are common. When it becomes frequent, painful, or socially disturbing, it may be due to indigestion, acidity, constipation, IBS, food triggers, swallowing air (fast eating), or stress.

Common Reasons Gas Forms
Gas forms when food ferments, digestion is weak, or extra air is swallowed: fast eating, talking while eating, chewing gum (air swallowing); indigestion / weak Agni, heaviness after meals; acidity / reflux (burps with burning, sour taste); constipation (gas gets trapped, bloating); IBS / food intolerance (milk, wheat, pulses, onions); and stress, irregular sleep, late-night eating.
Common Underlying Causes
Fast Eating & Air Swallowing (Aerophagia)
Gulping air while talking during meals, chewing gum, or drinking carbonated beverages.
Indigestion & Weak Agni
Slow gastric emptying and delayed carbohydrate breakdown causing intestinal fermentation.
Acidity & Reflux (Amlapitta)
Sour, hot belching and reflux of acidic gases irritating the esophagus.
Constipation & Gas Entrapment
Hard stools in the colon blocking downward gas passage, leading to painful distension.
IBS & Food Intolerances
Sensitivities to lactose (dairy), gluten (wheat), legumes/pulses, cabbage, or onions.
Stress & Irregular Sleep Routines
Disrupted gut motility and autonomic nerve stimulation leading to irregular bowel gas transit.
