Belching and Flatulence
Belching and flatulence can sometimes embarrass, but unfortunately, they're sometimes unavoidable. Belching and flatulence are two symptoms of indigestion that occur when the digestive tract can't break down and absorb certain foods, such as lactose from dairy or proteins from beans and grains.
Along with the foods and liquids, small amounts of air are also taken in, building up in a person's digestive system. Gases can also accumulate when someone's food is digested. These gases need to be dispelled, normally by belching and passing gas.
