A doctor has provided 1 answer

Belching: A person belches to release excess gas trapped in the stomach. Some gas is naturally taken in with eating but some foods can produce more gas such as spicey or acidic foods and carbonated beverages. Some people may have a hiatal hernia which is a weakness at the opening to the stomach that may make more gas be expelled. Some medical conditions can cause excess acid and belching. See the doctor.
