How To Manage Aerophagia

During the course of any given day, everyone will accidentally swallow air. Whether done while eating, talking, or laughing, it just happens. However, for some individuals, so much air is swallowed that it leads to issues like stomach cramps, gas, belching, and bloating. Known as aerophagia, this condition is caused by a number of catalysts. Some individuals may eat too quickly. Others may have a habit of talking while eating. It can also be caused by gum chewing, mouth breathing, carbonated drinks, and vigorous exercise. In some cases, an underlying medical condition like sleep apnea is to blame.
