Gastric bloating and belching may result from exposure to cold weather or chewing gum, which can cause the stomach to absorb excessive cold air, leading to excessive gas accumulation in the stomach and subsequently causing belching or bloating.
Alternatively, improper diet—such as consuming large amounts of gas-producing foods like sweet potatoes, onions, or taro—may also trigger gastric bloating and belching.
Additionally, certain medical conditions—such as indigestion—can impair normal gastrointestinal gas expulsion, resulting in gastric bloating and belching.
