Eating very fast, talking too much while eating, drinking water quickly, chewing gum, eating hard candy, and drinking through a straw can cause people to swallow extra air, which later comes out as a burp.
In acid reflux and GERD, stomach acid flows back up into the food pipe, which can be accompanied by heartburn, a sour taste in the mouth, and excessive burping.
You should see a doctor if burping persists continuously and is accompanied by warning signs like severe stomach pain, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, bleeding, or chest pain.
