Belching - is the expulsion of gases from the stomach through the mouth. Gases come out with a distinctive sound and, sometimes, with the smell. The most common cause burping - involuntary swallowing of air. Swallowing air occurs when a person drinks too quickly, eating, and especially if it is at the same time talking. Chewing gum and carbonated drinks may also contribute to the accumulation of gas in the stomach and, as a consequence, belching.

If children do not regurgitate after eating, accumulated in the intestine gases can then cause a lot of pain, so parents usually specifically cause babies burp. In pregnant women, regurgitation and occurs more often than usual - blame this slow digestion and hormonal changes. Frequent burping can also be the result of many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as acid reflux, hiatal hernia, or deficiency of hydrochloric acid.

Symptoms that may occur with belching

If the reason for burping are any diseases and disorders of the digestive processes, it may be accompanied by the following symptoms:

• Stomach ache
• Abdominal distention
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Flatulence
• Heartburn
• Nausea and / or vomiting

If regurgitation in combination with one or more of the following symptoms have been one or two times, it may be a coincidence. However, if it is repeated regularly, should be examined.

This is partly due to the fact that these people tend to be very fast to eat and drink, but also tend to swallow air when they talk.

How to cope with belching?

First you need to be screened to ensure that burping is not a symptom of any disease. If it's aerofagii - involuntary ingestion of large volumes of air, you have to learn to control themselves. Watch out for yourself when you talk, eat and drink, and try not to swallow for breath. At first it will seem difficult, but with time you will learn to monitor their behavior. If you want to ask your loved ones to help you with this.

Since aerophagia may develop due to increased salivation Increased salivation - deviation from the norm , Discard the gum, tobacco and candy, because of which the saliva is released in very large quantities.

When you swallow large pieces of poorly chewed food into your stomach in large quantities gets the air, which then causes belching.

Avoid carbonated drinks and beer - it is obvious that they can cause belching. Find out whether you have lactose intolerance. If there is, you have to replace dairy products with soy - are also helpful, and do not cause burping and other side effects.

An indication of what diseases can be belching

In healthy people, burping is rare. Frequent belching is often a symptom of diseases of the stomach, liver, gall bladder and intestines. Belching may be a leading sign for diseases and conditions involving impaired cardiac sphincter mechanism circuit, located between the stomach and esophagus. Such a condition can occur, for example, diaphragmatic hernia, or after operations on the gastrointestinal tract.

Belching may be a sign of neurosis Neurosis - reaction to the nervous shock   stomach (aerophagia), in which case it is usually loud, audible in the distance. Belching may occur as a reflex in diseases of the abdominal organs such as the liver, gall bladder, as well as cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction). But more often belching occurs in diseases of the stomach and duodenum.

What are belching

Delayed gastric emptying (eg, cancer or peptic ulcer) arising from this stagnation and decomposition of food in the stomach cause the formation of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, which give belching foul "rotten" smell.

Belching air together with the food into the mouth comes some amount of gastric contents, which can impart belching bitter, sour and even putrid flavor. Thus, acid regurgitation may occur when the acidity of gastric contents or increased production of gastric juice, and also due to the fermentation in the absence of gastric juice hydrochloric acid. Bitter belching is a result of abandonment of bile into the stomach, and putrid - with long-term stagnation in the stomach and putrefaction of its contents.

Any medication should be taken correctly, otherwise it may harm. The negative effects on the body and activated carbon is peculiar - it threatens the creation of incorrect application of the deficit necessary for the body of biologically active substances.

Adsorbents and their impact on the human body

Adsorption - this absorption surface of a solid or liquid gases dissolved substances or solid particles of a substance. Absorbent materials have the property of absorbing fluid (inflammatory, occurring in allergic processes with dissolved toxic substances) and absorb a variety of harmful substances.

By adsorbing means include activated carbon, aluminum hydroxide, white clay, magnesium trisilicate, talc, and other substances, both for domestic and for outdoor applications.

The best-known adsorbent is activated carbon, which is taken orally in various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, chronic infectious and inflammatory and allergic processes to cleanse the body Cleansing the body - comprehensive restoration   of toxins.

Which substances can be removed from the body by activated carbon

Activated carbon is taken to cleanse the body from any harmful substances. And with short courses of its application the body really cleaned from harmful substances. However, even very large doses of activated charcoal (for example, gastric lavage one-time use up to 30, 0 g of the drug) does not cause an overdose.

But with prolonged or frequent administration of activated charcoal, he could be removed from the gastrointestinal tract vitamins needed by the body for proper metabolism that, like a snowball, will lead to metabolic disorders, and decreased immunity.

It can be derived as required for digestive enzymes, and food in the gut starts to decompose properly by decay. This will lead to the suppression of beneficial microflora and the active development of pathogenic microflora, ready at any moment to cause inflammation in the intestinal wall. This condition is called dysbiosis. Dysbacteriosis manifested chronic constipation, diarrhea, bloating (flatulence) - all of these symptoms can be significantly heavier for any chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract.

Prolonged use of activated carbon, it can also remove the nutrients from the blood through their adsorbing villi of the intestinal mucosa. In this way it can be removed from the blood beneficial minerals - potassium and magnesium (primarily affected heart muscle) and calcium (he is actively involved in the cellular metabolism).

Finally, activated carbon can continuously excrete some of the nutrients - proteins, fats and carbohydrates. At deficiency of proteins reduced immunity, the skin is rapidly aging, hair and nails become brittle, suffer all the internal organs, cells are constantly in need of protein, and the immune system.

If the body lacks fat, it violated all metabolic processes, as biochemical reactions that make up the metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting Are impossible without participation of fats and their metabolic products (eg, good cholesterol).

Removal of blood glucose Glucose: The energy source   fraught with hypoglycemia, when the cells of organs and tissues begin to suffer from a lack of energy they need for biochemical reactions. Hypoglycemia can manifest as sudden attacks of weakness, tremors, cold sweat, and even loss of consciousness.

Thus, long-term use of activated carbon can result in a chronic shortage of biologically active substances that are essential to the human body.

Contraindications

The use of activated charcoal is contraindicated in ulcerative lesions of the stomach and intestines, especially if they are accompanied by gastric bleeding. This can not be done because the activated carbon Activated carbon - old but indispensable   It can be accessed through the gaping blood vessels in the blood vessels and cause a blockage - thrombosis. This is a very dangerous complication, because it leads to disruption of the blood supply to the tissue that nourishes the affected vessels. Deprived of food tissue dies off, causing very serious condition of the patient.

There are (though very rarely) and cases of individual intolerance of activated carbon. On this particular his body a person needs to know and have never used the drug.

Activated carbon is a good adsorbent, but uncontrolled use it in any case impossible. Any prolonged or repeated courses of the drug should be carried out under the supervision of a physician.
