Regular habits and small lifestyle changes are often effective
Smaller, more frequent meals can help prevent discomfort and lessen burping Skip carbonated drinks: Sodas and sparkling water add gas to your stomach, which can increase burping Eat slowly: Eating or drinking quickly increases the amount of air you swallow and the amount of gas you produce Limit trigger foods: Fatty, greasy or sulfur-rich foods, such as eggs, broccoli and onions, may worsen your symptoms Stay upright after eating: Sitting or walking after you eat and avoiding lying down can help food move through your system With your doctors approval, you may use over-the-counter remedies, such as simethicone or digestive enzymes, to relieve gas
