Burping happens when gas gets trapped in your stomach or intestines and is released through your mouth. Here's a quick rundown of 7 common foods that can make you burp a lot.
Beans and Legumes 🌱
Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates. Your body has difficulty digesting these carbs, leading to fermentation in the gut, which produces gas.
Carbonated Drinks 🍺
Sodas, sparkling water, and beer are filled with carbon dioxide. When you drink them, you swallow air that gets trapped in your stomach.
Cruciferous Vegetables 🥦
Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are packed with fiber and sulfur compounds. These can create gas in your intestines during digestion.
Dairy Products 🧀
For those who are lactose intolerant, milk, cheese, and yogurt can cause gas as your body struggles to digest lactose.
Onions and Garlic 🧄
Both onions and garlic contain fructans, a type of carbohydrate that can cause bloating and gas.
Artificial Sweeteners 🍬
Sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol are common sugar substitutes that aren’t fully absorbed by the body. They can cause fermentation in the gut, leading to burping.
Fried and Fatty Foods 🍟
Greasy foods like fried chicken or burgers slow digestion, leading to bloating and gas buildup.
