BURP: Dighayin Ka Ba? - Dr. Gary Sy

Burping (belching) is as common and natural a bodily function as passing gas (farting). Excessive burping can sometimes be accompanied by discomfort or bloating. Although these symptoms can interfere somewhat with certain daily activities, they typically don’t indicate a serious underlying condition. Burping is a part of life, but it’s considered a problem when the symptoms become frequent and interfere with social situations. Excessive burping can be a sign of a more serious medical condition. Nevertheless, people rarely consult their doctor about burping. Gary S.
