What Conditions Cause Constant Burping?

Helicobacter Pylori

Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that can cause a stomach infection and lead to the development of stomach ulcers. In addition to frequent belching, patients with this infection may notice they have stomach pain, unintended weight loss, nausea, loss of appetite, and bloating. To diagnose this infection, doctors may test a patient's blood, breath, and stool. Some patients may also need to have an endoscopy. If an infection is found, patients are often prescribed a combination of at least two antibiotics to help clear the bacteria. In addition, patients may also be offered proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid production, and they may be advised to take bismuth subsalicylate, a liquid medication that forms a coating over any ulcers that may be present and protects them from stomach acid. Certain patients might be prescribed histamine blockers to further reduce acid production.
