Hello. : Hello. Here are some possible causes for burping/ belching. Swallowing air while eating, gastropareris (stomach is paralyzed), drinking carbonated beverages, hiatal hernia, heliobacter pyloric infection of stomach, food intolerances and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (sibo). The best way to determine the cause is to be medically evaluated. So, if this is a chronic problem, especially since it keeps you up at night; would get it assessed.
