A member asked:

What would cause belching before and after eating food. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Belching: Belching even while your stomach is empty suggests air swallowing(aerophagia) where one habitually swallows air to make himself belch. Belching following a meal can also be due to aerophagia but also to gassy food ingesting, hiatal hernia or gall bladder dysfunction. Taking simethicone after meals helps prevent gas buildup.
