In a healthy person, the eructation is usually single, almost silent and not accompanied by extraneous taste sensations, it can contain the smell of foods that you ate. But repeated repetition of eructations within an hour indicates that something went wrong according to plan. If this is a physiological eructation, it can be caused by the following factors:
- binge eating;
- consumption of carbonated beverages and beer;
- allergy to lactose;
- eating food in a state of nervous tension;
- haste and, as a result, poor chewing of food;
- a large number of legumes, cabbage and milk in the diet.

Especially it concerns the removal of nervousness: from excessive experiences, many people start to breathe frequently and incorrectly, as a result of which air enters the digestive system and erupts. Sedation funds will completely solve this problem.
