You may also want to consider making dietary changes. Most food contain carbohydrate can cause gas, such as potatoes, corn, beans, asparagus, brussels, celery, onions, peas, turnips, carrots, cauliflower, sprouts, cucumber, green pepper, bananas, oranges, pears, prunes, cheese, barley, wheat, oat bran. In contrast, fats and proteins cause little gas. Cutting down on food that cause gas may make a big difference, however, the amount of gas produced by food may varies from person to person. You need not eliminated gas-producing food entirely unless your kid has certain food sensitivity. You can try trial and error method to determine his own limit. Sometimes eating in smaller quantity will reduce flatulence.
There are reasons for a toddler to burp constantly: - eat or drink too fast - consume too much gas-producing foods/drinks e.g. carbonated drink, beans or cabbage - improper breathing habits, e.g. tend to breath using mouth instead of nose - if heartburn coupled with constant burping, it indicates diseases or disorders known as Hiatal Hernia - Bacterial Infections - A particular strain of bacteria, called H. pylori can sometimes cause a stomach infection http://causessymptomsandtreatments.com/constant_burping/constant_burping.html You try to observe for 1-2 more days and if the condition is getting worse please bring him to PD for further check.
Gas is air that gets trapped in the gastrointestinal system and needs to be released. Burping is one of the ways for parents to help their baby get rid of that gas. When gas bubbles get stuck in your baby's stomach, they can cause a feeling of fullness and discomfort. Some of the causes for burping in children may includes the following: - Intestinal obstruction Hiatal hernia Superior mesenteric artery syndrome Consuming carbonated drinks Gum chewing Eating too fast Drinking too fast Lactose intolerance
Children swallow air when eating and drinking all the time, it either passes into the lower digestive tract or is burped out. Burping is good, and has no clinical consequences, at the most it embarrasses you if you do it in public (like farting does). Do not be overly concern as it is kind of a normal to burp. Sometimes, it would just be the speed of food intake and eating habits.
It could be caused by eating or drink too fast This is either colic or possibly 'reflux', where acid is building up in his stomach and causing the gas.
