Nausea and belching are physiological phenomena of the body after eating food. Individually, they are not symptoms of a pathogenic process in the body. The presence of pathology is indicated by the frequent occurrence of these symptoms together.
The reasons for the unpleasant consequences are as follows:
- Eating fatty foods.
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Intoxication of the body. When intoxicated, poisoning occurs with harmful substances – toxins.
- Disruption of the nervous system.
- Bad habits. Alcohol and smoking have a detrimental effect on the body, which causes nausea.
- Dietary disorder. When a person has no sense of proportion in eating, this leads to diseases of the endocrine system. Prolonged hunger has no less detrimental effects on the body. The stomach constantly produces secretions necessary for digesting food. In its absence, it has an adverse effect on the mucous membrane of the organ.
If malaise appears at different times of the day without eating, this indicates the presence of pathogenic processes in the body.
Poor nutrition
In older people, the stomach loses its ability to digest certain foods, such as dairy products. Food begins to ferment in the stomach, causing belching of air and mild nausea.
A healthy person experiences nausea and frequent belching after consuming certain foods:
- Strong coffee consumed on an empty stomach.
- Alcohol products.
- Sour food.
- Mushroom dishes.
Junk food provokes illness due to a lack of enzymes or individual intolerance to certain foods. In this case, unpleasant consequences may go away on their own.
The occurrence of unpleasant consequences is facilitated by a disrupted diet: overeating, eating late in the day, fasting, consuming food hot or cold. An increase in temperature in the stomach destroys its beneficial bacteria, which affects the process of digesting food.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
Nausea and belching after eating may indicate the presence of pathology. This sign accompanies:
- Pathogenic processes in the esophagus.
- Stomach diseases.
- Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Diseases of the duodenum.
These symptoms may occur with the development of diseases of the digestive system:
- Cholecystitis.
- Pancreatitis.
- Biliary dyskinesia.
- Cirrhosis of the liver.
- Oncology.
- Polycystic disease.
- Thyroid diseases.
- Presence of parasites.
Pathology develops under the influence of the following factors:
- Unhealthy eating.
- Penetration of pathogenic microflora.
- Viral diseases (sore throat, flu, tonsillitis, etc.).
Symptoms of the disease
In addition to feeling unwell after eating, the disease is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Heartburn.
- Loss of appetite.
- Diarrhea.
- Pain in the epigastric region.
- Bad breath.
- Vomit.
- Dizziness.
- Weakness.
- Body temperature rises.
- Belching is accompanied by food particles.
- Constant nausea, in some cases accompanied by vomiting.
- Profuse drooling.
In the morning the symptoms are more pronounced than in the afternoon or evening.
If you notice the above symptoms, you should consult a therapist. Treatment is prescribed after examination and diagnosis. The examination includes palpation in the epigastrium, fibrogastroscopy, fibrogastroduodenoscopy, and radiography.
Such manifestations may be signs of the development of oncology; in this situation, abdominal pain, especially in the upper part, nausea with vomiting and aversion to meat are added to the symptoms.
Lack of timely treatment leads to death.
Treatment
Belching with nausea can be treated traditionally. For this purpose, complex treatment using medications is used:
- To stimulate motor skills. They eliminate spasms by blocking the formation of food lumps in the stomach. Prescribed for weak gastric peristalsis and chronic gastritis.
- Enzymes. Used to improve digestion. Prescribed for inflammation of the pancreas.
- Enveloping antacid drugs. They are used for diseases accompanied by heartburn, as well as inflammation of the mucous membranes of the stomach.
- Means for normalizing intestinal function.
- Choleretic drugs. Prescribed for chronic non-calculous cholecystitis to eliminate bile stagnation.
- Antiemetic drugs. These drugs relieve the nausea symptom and eliminate belching by acting on the brain receptors responsible for the urge to vomit.
An integral part of the treatment of diseases with these symptoms is dietary nutrition. Harmful foods (fatty foods, carbonated drinks, alcohol, spicy foods) are completely excluded from the diet.
Meals should be balanced and fractional. Hunger and overeating negatively affect the functioning of the abdominal organs.
Empty belching after eating, not accompanied by nausea, is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment.
If nausea is accompanied by severe vomiting and intestinal disorders, stomach flu (rotavirus) is possible. This condition threatens dehydration. If these symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Etiology
As mentioned above, belching is caused by both a pathological factor and a completely normal source.
Physiological causes of air belching:
- conversations during meals;
- frequent overeating;
- consumption of excessively cold or extremely hot drinks and foods;
- sleep immediately after a meal;
- influence of stressful situations;
- during early pregnancy due to poor nutrition;
- doing physical exercise after eating;
- poor chewing of food;
- an abundance of sweets – causes sour belching;
- habit of drinking beer or other carbonated drinks;
- swallowing large amounts of air while eating or talking.
Causes of burping air
In addition, some foods may well cause the manifestation of such a symptom. Among them it is worth highlighting:
- oxygen cocktails;
- milk and dairy products;
- legumes;
- cabbage;
- chewing gum;
- ice cream;
- onion.
Constant belching of air may be due to one of the following diseases:
- pancreatitis or gastritis;
- cancer of the stomach - the most common source of frequent belching of air;
- the development of an inflammatory process or other ailments in the pancreas or bile ducts;
- duodenal or gastric ulcer;
- hiatal hernia;
- gastroduodenitis;
- GERD;
- gallbladder pathologies.
Belching of air often occurs after eating, which has both the above physiological causes and the following pathological ones:
- chronic or acute form of pancreatitis;
- bile duct dyskinesia;
- gastritis, which is accompanied by increased secretion of hydrochloric acid;
- esophagitis.
Belching with a bitter taste often develops with:
- GERD;
- injuries, the presence of a malignant or benign tumor in the abdominal organs;
- mechanical compression of the duodenum;
- uncontrolled use of certain groups of medications, for example, antispasmodics;
- chronic duodenitis;
- bearing a child;
- previous surgical interventions on the stomach or other organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
Another common type of burping is acetone. It very often results from:
- diabetes mellitus;
- hyperglycemia;
- carbohydrate metabolism disorders.
Sour belching occurs due to:
- acute or chronic gastritis, namely with increased acidity of gastric juice;
- GERD;
- exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis;
- decreased immune system;
- addiction to bad habits;
- surgical treatment of abdominal organs;
- nut consumption.
The most unpleasant symptom is belching with rotten eggs, the causes of which are as follows:
- eating heavy foods high in protein;
- diabetes mellitus;
- dyspepsia;
- pathologies of the endocrine system;
- long-term use of medications such as antidepressants or calcium antagonists;
- housing and communal services;
- ulcerative lesions of the stomach.
It is worth noting that belching in children of the first year of life is a completely normal manifestation, since the baby swallows a large amount of air during breastfeeding. However, if the baby is bothered by frequent belching, regardless of food intake, then parents should consult a pediatrician.
The pathological causes of belching in children are:
- inconsistency of the diet with the age category of the child;
- adenoids;
- chronic runny nose;
- increased salivation;
- pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract;
- damage to the liver or bile ducts.
Often, representatives of the fairer sex experience belching during pregnancy, which has a completely physiological justification. A similar symptom begins to appear in the second half of pregnancy, which is caused by an increase in the size of the uterus and active growth of the fetus. Against this background, there is a displacement of internal organs, in particular the stomach and intestines, which causes the appearance of such an unpleasant symptom. In addition, belching during pregnancy may indicate the development or exacerbation of gastrointestinal ailments that the woman suffered before conceiving a child, as well as errors in nutrition.

Nausea due to nervous disorders
If the nausea symptom is accompanied by dizziness and headache, this indicates a nervous disorder. This happens with head injuries and pathogenic processes in the brain.
The presence of these manifestations suggests that neurosis covers a large part of the brain and upsets the autonomic function of the body. The patient feels unwell for several days. This affects the physical and emotional state of a person. He becomes irritable and tired. The body spends all its efforts to maintain vital functions, working in a stressful mode, which causes the above symptoms.
The nausea symptom is caused during phobias and panic attacks. This is a sign of a mental disorder. Malaise is a reaction to increased psychological stress. This affects the general condition of the patient. His heartbeat quickens, his blood pressure increases or decreases, sweating increases, and stiffness of movements may appear.
Causes of nausea in stressful situations
There are four factors that provoke nausea in stressful situations:
- Aerophagia. When stressed, the heart rate and breathing reflexively increase. The air enters mainly through the mouth, entering the esophagus and stomach. The accumulated air exits through the esophagus. The result is severe belching.
- Hypertonicity of skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are very tense with increased anxiety. Adrenaline is produced, the muscles become stiff, the tone spreads to the internal organs, and the victim suffers from mild nausea.
- Psychological stress. When the load increases, the body gets rid of food for the purpose of relief. Frequent urination and intestinal upset are added to the unpleasant symptoms.
- The patient's mood to vomit. If a person previously reacted to a stressful situation by vomiting, he expects it to appear again. What gives the brain the necessary signal.
When the digestive system works well, a person is unfamiliar with such unpleasant symptoms as belching and nausea. If sometimes one of these signs occurs after eating, then this is not a reason to sound the alarm. But if you suffer from constant belching, and it is accompanied by nausea, then this indicates disturbances in the functioning of the digestive system. This is a good reason to take care of yourself and your health, and find out the cause of your symptoms. And there are quite a lot of them, which should be discussed in more detail.
Causes of nausea and bitter taste in the mouth
- Cholelithiasis. Stagnation of bile leads to the formation of stones that interfere with the proper functioning of the liver. The lack of opportunity for a constant outflow of bile leads to overflow of the bladder, and periodic sharp releases of a large amount of it into the duodenum. This explains the reflux of bile into the stomach, esophagus and oral cavity.
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastritis, gastroduodenitis, peptic ulcer disease or dysbiosis no less often lead to constant fatigue, nausea, vomiting and other dyspeptic symptoms.
- A number of dental diseases lead to intensive formation of plaque on the tongue and oral mucosa, which is accompanied by a feeling of bitterness in the mouth - dyspeptic disorders are completely absent.
- Hepatitis, steatosis, cirrhosis of the liver. These pathologies are often not accompanied by pronounced symptoms, and bitterness in the mouth or heaviness in the hypochondrium make themselves felt periodically, often after physical overload.
- Cholecystitis. The above symptoms manifest themselves intensively, icteric discoloration of the skin and sclera is added, pain in the right hypochondrium is intense and constant. Weakness and dizziness are often accompanied by nighttime insomnia. Stool disorders in the form of diarrhea or constipation are typical.
- Hypo- or hyperthyroidism. Biliary dyskinesia is provoked by adrenaline and norepinephrine, the secretion of which changes with pathologies of the thyroid gland. Narrowing of the gallbladder ducts leads to stagnation of bile.
1 gastrointestinal diseases (associated symptoms - white, yellow or gray coating on the tongue, pain in the stomach that occurs when eating, heartburn, increased gas formation, belching, bad breath, constant feeling of hunger, change in consistency, smell and color of feces mass, rumbling and gurgling sounds accompanying the digestion process, weight loss with normal appetite);
2 disruptions in the functioning of the pancreas (if there are disturbances in the functioning of the pancreas, a person may experience weakness, girdle pain, radiating to the navel and intensifying when taking a horizontal position, fever, headache, weight loss);
3 inflammation of the gallbladder (in this case, heaviness and pain in the stomach, vomiting mixed with bile, fever, diarrhea, increased gas formation, painful tension in the abdominal muscles often occur);
4 diseases of the urinary system (in this case, in addition to nausea and a bitter taste in the mouth, the person suffers from severe pain in the lower abdomen, high blood pressure and frequent urge to urinate);
5 liver diseases (if there is a malfunction or a viral infection of the organ, there is pain and a feeling of fullness in the right hypochondrium, weakness, swelling, migraine, increased sweating, diarrhea, changes in the color of the skin and sclera (jaundice), as well as feces and urine, tongue becomes covered with cracks and a thick white coating, the outlines of veins appear on the surface of the skin);
6 food, alcohol, drug, drug poisoning (as a rule, after gastric lavage and switching to dietary nutrition, the taste in the mouth and nausea disappear, and the person’s condition stabilizes);
7 frequent consumption of fatty, spicy, pickled, smoked foods, as well as sweet carbonated drinks (sugar and carbon dioxide, which such liquids are saturated with, have an irritating effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, causing stool upset, abdominal pain, nausea, a persistent taste of bitterness in mouth).
Experts warn: you should not ignore unpleasant symptoms in the hope that the problem will solve itself. If bitterness in the mouth and nausea do not disappear when changing your diet, giving up bad habits and/or stopping medications prescribed by your doctor, you should undergo a full examination of the body for hidden infections, hormonal disorders or dysfunction of internal organs.
The bitter taste on the lips and in the mouth is a consequence of an excess of bile in the body. Bile secretion is constantly produced by the liver. The liver is an unpaired internal organ, which is a kind of filter in the human body. It breaks down not only useful, but also toxic metabolic products into the simplest compounds, which are excreted from the body with feces and urine.
Bile produced by the liver accumulates in the gallbladder. Bile secretions contain enzymes that are necessary for good digestion. During the process of absorption of food, bile rises from the gallbladder into the duodenum. In this case, bile acids activate pancreatic enzymes and have a beneficial effect on the breakdown of fats and their absorption. Excess bile secretions are eliminated from the body through the intestines, ensuring the absorption of vitamin K.
In cases of spasm of the muscles of the duodenum during the release of bile from the gallbladder, it enters the esophagus and the oral cavity, which leads to a feeling of bitter taste in the mouth and on the lips.
The cause of bitterness in the mouth and lips, the urge to feel sick and weak in pregnant women can also be hidden in an incorrectly chosen diet. By adjusting your daily menu, you can prevent the occurrence of unpleasant sensations that pregnant women often experience.
Nausea and dry mouth may indicate the presence of an inflammatory process in the stomach, provoked by the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori, a pathogen whose waste products, accumulating in the stomach, reduce the acidity of the organ. When bacteria actively multiply, the gastric mucosa suffers, which over time becomes covered with erosions and ulcers.
Treatment of gastritis and ulcers caused by the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori involves taking medications with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, as well as following a specialized diet aimed at restoring the damaged lining of the stomach.
Food harmful to the body
Belching and nausea appear due to poor nutrition, that is, eating foods that the body cannot tolerate. For example, older people find it increasingly difficult to digest milk and dairy products: cottage cheese, kefir, fermented milk products, because the body does not produce as many enzymes for their processing as in younger years. There are other foods that can cause belching and nausea in a person:
- Strong coffee drunk on an empty stomach can provoke an attack of not only nausea, but also vomiting.
- Alcoholic drinks , especially strong ones and drunk in large quantities, cause intoxication, which causes belching and even vomiting.
- Inflammation of the stomach lining with high acidity prohibits the consumption of acidic foods and homemade vegetables.
- Mushrooms are heavy protein and difficult to process. Their use may provoke the symptoms in question.
The mechanism for the appearance of unpleasant symptoms is associated with a lack of synthesis of the necessary enzymes or individual intolerance to any product. Gradually, as a person grows older, the list of heavy foods expands, so he warns about the need to take care of his health. Heavy food load and constant infections undermine the condition of the body and do not go away on their own.
Other reasons related to food intake
Nausea and belching of air in healthy people have other causes associated with improper food intake:
- When air is swallowed while eating, a belch is formed.
- After eating a large amount of food. In this case, both belching and nausea occur.
- Eating foods that produce gas in the stomach.
- If you do physical work immediately after eating.
- After eating fried or fatty foods, you usually feel nauseous.
- If you eat stale food, you start to feel sick.
- Pregnant women may experience belching after eating as a result of pressure on the diaphragm and nausea due to toxicosis.
Preventing nausea with belching is quite simple; you need to watch what you eat at every meal, unless you have a disease that causes this unpleasant symptom.
Terminology
To differentiate diseases of the digestive system and interpret the meaning of nausea and belching, you need to give a clear understanding of these terms. Nausea is a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region and chest, discomfort in the mouth and pharynx with a feeling of pressing from bottom to top and rolling in the upper abdomen, sometimes accompanied by strong salivation, belching and hiccups, often preceding vomiting.
Belching is the condition of the release of gas or a small portion of gastric contents from the oral cavity, accompanied by an unpleasant aftertaste.
Vomiting is the active separation of the contents of the stomach or duodenum into the esophagus and oral cavity as a result of reverse peristalsis.
Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing or swallowing food, a feeling of difficulty passing food in the throat or chest, pain, burning, hiccups or nausea when swallowing.
Diseases whose symptoms are nausea and belching
Nausea and belching of air are considered mandatory signs of certain pathologies:
- Pancreatitis in the acute phase . After each meal, nausea develops, including vomiting. All this is accompanied by flatulence.
- Gastritis in chronic form . Symptoms appear immediately after eating and during an exacerbation. Belching has a nasty smell. At the same time, there is a feeling of heaviness in the stomach and a dull pain in the abdomen.
- Infectious pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. Belching and nausea, and then vomiting, appear a short period of time after you eat. At the same time, diarrhea develops, the temperature rises and pain in the stomach appears.
- Liver cirrhosis and cholecystitis . Discomfort begins when eating food or immediately after. In addition to the symptoms in question, there is a bitterness in the mouth and pain under the ribs on the right.
- Obstruction of the esophagus . Frequent belching and nausea are considered pronounced signs of this pathology.
- Pathology of cardiac circulation . Nausea does not go away, but shortness of breath and chest pain develop.
- Low pressure . Dizziness and nausea in the morning are signs of hypotension.
- Thyroid diseases . In addition to nausea, weakness, lethargy, weight loss and loss of appetite develop.
- Infestation with parasites . If a person has lamblia or roundworms, then he is tormented by frequent belching and nausea.
- Respiratory tract diseases . Difficulty in nasal breathing leads to air intake through the mouth, which allows it to enter the stomach, causing belching.
- Tumors and problems in the structure of the gastrointestinal tract . The formation of hernias, narrowing of the esophagus and other defects impede the normal processing and passage of food. This leads to stagnation and the production of gases, which “force” you to burp.
- Constant stress . They disrupt the gastrointestinal tract, slow down peristalsis, causing regurgitation.
- Encephalitis . Brain injuries are also accompanied by dizziness, nausea and belching.
If unpleasant symptoms do not develop because you are not eating properly, then only a doctor should identify the cause of their occurrence. He orders an examination and, having detected disorders in the body, prescribes adequate treatment.
Possible causes of bile vomiting and associated symptoms
Bitterness in the mouth causes great discomfort to many people.
Certain diseases, as well as the consumption of low-quality products, can cause weakness and a feeling of bitterness in the mouth. It’s not easy to figure out the situation on your own, so don’t put off visiting a doctor - this will help you diagnose a dangerous condition in a timely manner and take adequate measures. Among the most common causes of such symptoms are:
- damage to the gallbladder - this is indicated by the bitterness that appears in the mouth in the morning;
- if bitterness in the mouth, nausea and dizziness appear after physical exertion, accompanied by pain in the right hypochondrium, we can talk about liver disease;
- symptoms that develop after eating fatty and fried foods indicate a malfunction of the gallbladder and ducts;
- nausea and bitterness that begin every time after eating (any) give reason to assume disorders in the gastrointestinal tract and the hepatobiliary system as a whole.
If bitterness in the mouth and nausea occur, it is necessary to analyze the reasons for their occurrence.
Unpleasant symptoms may result from severe stress or consumption of foods containing large amounts of pesticides and other chemicals. It is also worth noting that medications can cause bitterness in the mouth and dizziness. This is especially true for antibacterial agents. The strong bactericidal effect of drugs often causes the development of dysbiosis and characteristic dyspeptic disorders.
At home, you can take the following actions to alleviate the condition:
- It is recommended to drink more fluids. If you feel very nauseous, then you should prepare rosehip infusion, mint tea or sour compote. Water and other drinks prevent excessive fluid removal from the body.
- In the morning, it is recommended to drink chicken broth (low fat) on an empty stomach, which helps to start the processes of the gastrointestinal tract.
- If you are vomiting, have stomach or hypochondrium pain at the same time, you should adhere to a strict menu, and also completely avoid salty, fatty, fried, spicy, spicy foods, alcohol, strong tea, and caffeine-containing drinks. Doctors recommend not consuming foods (especially on an empty stomach) that have an irritating effect, such as onions, tomatoes, cabbage, and citrus fruits.
- It is recommended to eat in fractional portions, alternating three meals a day with vegetables, cereals, and fruits.
- If a child vomits at night, it is recommended to switch him to a light diet, and also make sure that he does not overeat. It is necessary to control temperature and feces, since diarrhea and chills are signs of the development of intestinal disease.
The manifestation of the clinical picture will differ depending on what was the source of the appearance of the main symptoms.
Symptoms of nausea and bitter taste may be accompanied by such manifestations as:
- increase in abdominal size;
- bowel dysfunction with a predominance of constipation or diarrhea;
- severe pain of various localization depending on the affected organ;
- attacks of headache and dizziness;
- belching with a sour smell;
- heartburn;
- a feeling of heat and burning in the chest area, which can spread along the esophagus and into the pharynx;
- the appearance of characteristic rumbling in the stomach;
- general weakness combined with nausea and a bitter taste often worries the fairer sex during pregnancy. To eliminate them, a woman only needs to adjust her diet;
- dry mouth - is a consequence of prolonged use of medications;
- yellowness of the skin, as well as the mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth;
- increase in body temperature.
It is worth considering that these are only general symptoms that may differ depending on the nature of the disease.
The principles of treatment of vomiting are determined by the causes of the pathological condition. Nausea and vomiting of bile is a pathological sign that indicates a problem with the liver, pancreas, bile ducts or gall bladder. Impurities of liver secretions in the contents of the stomach also indicate poisoning of the body with toxins, alcohol, drugs (for example, after general anesthesia, vomiting of greenish mucus is considered normal) and other substances.
Cholelithiasis (cholelithiasis) is one of the possible causes of the penetration of bile acids into the stomach.
Vomiting of bile is usually preceded by such phenomena as a feeling of nausea, increased salivation, increased respiratory rate, and involuntary swallowing movements. Vomit containing bile is distinguished by a yellow-green color and a bitter taste, the sensation of which persists for a long time in the oral cavity.
The pathology is caused by stone formation in the bile ducts or bladder. Obstruction of the ducts leads to stagnation of liver secretions. But if stones move, they are released in large quantities into the duodenum and penetrate into the stomach. Typical manifestations of cholelithiasis include:
- yellowness of the skin;
- pain in the right side;
- hepatic colic;
- Digestive problems.
If you feel sick with bile and a greenish mass comes out of your stomach, you need to see a doctor. The pathology is fraught with complications, so it is treated primarily surgically.
Cholecystitis
Green bile during vomiting is one of the signs of inflammation of the gallbladder. Cholecystitis is more common in older people. It accompanies cholelithiasis and is manifested by obstructive jaundice, nausea, constipation, and fever. In the calculous form of the disease, stones form in the bladder, causing colic when the smooth muscle muscles contract.
Inflammation disrupts the motility of the organ, causing the flow of bile into the intestines to occur unevenly. When a large portion of liver secretion enters the duodenum, the mucous membrane becomes irritated. Because of this, bile is sometimes thrown into the stomach through the pyloric valve.
After cholecystectomy (excision of the gallbladder), bile directly passes from the hepatic ducts into the small intestine. Almost all patients develop postcholecystectomy syndrome after surgery. Its manifestations include:
- intestinal disorders;
- bitterness in the mouth;
- vomit;
- pain in the side after eating;
- pale skin;
- malaise;
- fast fatiguability;
- flatulence.
Attacks of nausea and vomiting are a consequence of overeating or eating fatty foods. Sometimes symptoms are caused by an overdose of choleretic drugs.
Pyloric stenosis
Pyloric stenosis (pyloric stenosis) is a complication of peptic ulcer disease, in which the walls of the short passage from the stomach to the duodenum narrow. Decreased tone of the pyloric valve and muscular sphincter leads to the reflux of bile acids into the stomach. They irritate the mucous membrane, causing vomiting. Typical manifestations of pyloric stenosis include nausea in the morning, vomiting, and stomach pain after eating.
Pancreatitis
Inflammation of the pancreas is one of the possible causes of vomiting blood. The symptom occurs during an attack of severe pain. Nausea becomes a side reaction to a state of shock. When pancreatitis worsens, the pyloric valve relaxes, causing bile to leak into the stomach. When vomiting, undigested food comes out of the esophagus, followed by a bitter yellow-green liquid. Attacks are caused by drinking alcohol, peppery or fatty foods.
Intoxication
Vomiting during intoxication is a natural attempt by the body to cleanse the gastrointestinal tract of toxic substances and prevent their penetration into the bloodstream. Vomiting of bile in case of poisoning is caused by:
- volatile chemicals;
- fumes from household chemicals;
- low-quality products;
- medicines.
If your stomach hurts, sweating increases and nausea appears, you should take enterosorbents.
After alcohol
Headache and vomiting of bile after drinking alcohol are a clear sign of alcohol intoxication.
Alcohol intoxication is a very dangerous condition for the body, which causes impaired coordination of movements, memory and speech, intestinal disorders, headaches and muscle pain, weakness, nausea and vomiting.
An excess of ethanol leads to impaired motility of the biliary tract, pylorus, sphincters and other gastrointestinal organs. Because of this, liver secretions are thrown into the stomach, causing irritation of its walls. In case of alcohol poisoning, it is necessary to rinse with a weak alkaline solution and take sorbents - Smecta, Polysorb, Enterosgel, etc.
Pregnancy
Vomiting with bile impurities during pregnancy is caused by toxicosis. In 90% of cases, it manifests itself in the early stages, but sometimes worsens several weeks before birth (then called gestosis). Characteristic symptoms of toxicosis include:
- nausea immediately after waking up;
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- bitter taste in the mouth;
- lack of appetite.
Sometimes bile acids in vomit occur during exacerbation of chronic diseases in a pregnant woman - calculous cholecystitis, gastroduodenitis, pancreatitis, etc.
Other reasons
Gagging is a reflex reaction of the body to irritation of the gastric mucosa by toxic substances or the accumulation of toxins in the gastrointestinal tract. Also, the eruption of vomit is caused by the following reasons:
- intestinal obstruction;
- gastroesophageal reflux;
- kidney pathologies;
- cyclic vomiting syndrome;
- overeating (especially typical for children);
- liver diseases;
- mental disorders.
Vomiting is a nonspecific symptom that accompanies many pathologies. To determine the cause of deterioration in health, you need to contact a gastroenterologist.
In cases where, in addition to the list of symptoms described above in this article, dizziness and general weakness are added, this indicates a violation of the cerebral circulatory functions.
1 Neck or head injury, including concussion.
2 Osteochondrosis of the cervical vertebrae.
3 Atherosclerosis of vessel walls or systemic autoimmune pathology. Requires timely action. Otherwise, a stroke may occur against their background.
Prevention
If belching and nausea occur due to poor nutrition, then this is easy to fix. To do this, you must follow some rules:
- Control the amount of food you eat and avoid overeating.
- Take your time while eating.
- Eat food without being distracted by extraneous conversations.
- Avoid physical activity after just leaving the table.
- Don't eat stale food.
- Limit the consumption of foods that lead to the formation of gas.
- Do not overuse fats and fried foods.
Treatment
What to do if preventive measures do not give the desired result? It is necessary to switch to drug treatment, which is selected for each patient individually after additional examination and an accurate diagnosis. Typically therapy is carried out with the following medications:
- Antispasmodics: Baralgin, Baralgetas, No-shpa, Drotaverine. These remedies eliminate muscle spasm of smooth muscles, eliminating pain and improving the condition. More effective for ulcers, pancreatitis and cholecystitis.
- Enzymes. They are prescribed for pathologies of the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. Pancreatin is most often used.
- Choleretic agents.
- Hormone therapy. Corticosteroids are prescribed.
- Sedatives: Motherwort, Valerian, Glycine.
To normalize the digestion process, medications such as Panzinorm, Analgin, Creon, Digestal and others are prescribed. Sometimes antiemetics are prescribed that eliminate belching and nausea by acting on the brain receptors that control vomiting: Cerucal, Motilium, the most effective of their drugs.
Nausea, bloating, belching
Their appearance is not always related to nutrition and there may be reasons for this:
- hormonal changes in the female body during the premenstrual period;
- gastritis, duodenal and stomach ulcers;
- irritable intestines, when dystrophic changes occur in its walls and enzymatic and motor activity is disrupted;
- diseases of the gallbladder and liver, pancreas;
- dysbiosis, which accompanies many pathologies not only in the digestive system, but also in other body systems;
- helminthic infestation affecting the intestines;
- polyps, adhesions in the intestines, and oncology carry the risk of intestinal obstruction.
Traditional medicine recipes
To eliminate discomfort and not suffer from belching, you can use traditional medicine. The more effective ones:
- Tea . Collect and dry mint leaves, black currant leaves and St. John's wort herb. Grind the raw materials and mix in equal parts. Brew a spoonful of herbs with 400 ml of boiling water and close tightly. Let it brew for 40 minutes, then strain and drink half a glass half an hour before meals. Duration of treatment – 10 days.
- Milk with honey . Warm 300 ml of milk to 40 degrees. Place a teaspoon of honey and a little cinnamon in a bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and drink everything before bed for a week.
- Herbal decoction . You need to prepare raw materials: rose hips, St. John's wort, oregano, mint and raspberry leaves. Take the components in equal proportions, a teaspoon each, and pour 700 ml of boiling water. Boil over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Allow the broth to cool, then strain. Drink 150 ml 15 minutes before meals. Duration of treatment is at least two weeks.
A carrot or apple salad, which should be eaten immediately after the main course, helps to get rid of belching after eating. The products used in the recipes weaken the fermentation processes during food digestion and improve the functioning of the digestive system.
Belching and nausea themselves do not pose a health threat if they occur infrequently and for reasons related to poor diet. But, if they appear frequently and are accompanied by other symptoms, then the situation requires immediate medical intervention in order to prevent severe pathology from developing and causing serious consequences.
Have you been struggling with GASTRITIS and ULCERS for many years without success?
“You will be amazed at how easy it is to cure gastritis and ulcers just by taking it every day.
Very often, people come to hospitals with complaints of belching air and nausea. If discomfort does not occur frequently, then it should be regarded as a normal physiological phenomenon that does not pose any threat to the health of patients. But, if such a condition occurs systematically, then it should be considered as symptoms indicating the development of pathological processes in the body.
Causes and treatment of bile vomiting

Belching after eating is a natural phenomenon when gases or air come out of the mouth. This phenomenon can occur in adults and children, often accompanied by an unpleasant odor or sound. It is not always possible to close your mouth while burping, which leads a person to an awkward situation.
Not everyone knows why belching occurs after eating and what problems may lie behind it. In some cases, treatment is necessary to prevent serious illness from developing. Only a doctor can identify the exact causes and treatment for them, but you need to know what is behind the usual belching immediately after eating.
After eating, belching can occur in any person, through regurgitation of gas or air; sometimes belching of food can occur after eating. This phenomenon is caused by air entering the stomach or after consuming soda. In a healthy person, this phenomenon goes away without consequences and unnoticed, but with certain problems not only a loud sound appears, but also an unpleasant smell.
Air entry: | Belching occurs if a person eats or talks quickly, which causes air to enter the stomach. |
Gastritis: | Acidity is disrupted, which results in sour belching after eating, additionally heartburn and nausea. |
Neurosis of the stomach: | Belching and nausea appear, as well as heartburn. Possible bloating. |
Wrong regime and diet: | Everyone who eats at different times, and also loves fatty, fried and other unhealthy foods, suffers from the problem that nausea after eating is possible, due to the fact that the body cannot digest everything. |
Diseased kidneys: | Bitterness appears in the mouth because bile is released and spreads throughout the body, even in the mouth. |
Cholecystitis: | Constant belching after eating and its frequent occurrence is accompanied by abdominal pain. |
Binge eating: | A trivial, but very common reason why the stomach cannot work at full capacity, so gases and air come out. |
These are the main reasons why belching occurs, but this is not enough and you need to familiarize yourself with each symptom in more detail.
Belching food after eating
People burp air every day; it can happen at any time and cannot be controlled. In healthy people, this does not cause pain, and no foreign odors appear. All living organisms in childhood also have a similar problem, since their stomach is just beginning to get used to the process of digesting food, this applies to babies, maybe a puppy, dogs and other animals.
Air belching allows food to move forward, and gastric juice, which becomes more abundant, digests it. This phenomenon is divided into 2 types:
- Physiological – a natural process.
- Pathological – appears as a result of diseases.
Why does such a disease appear? After food gets inside, the walls of the stomach are irritated, digestion becomes more difficult, and a piece of food comes out along with the air. Additionally, there may be bad breath. Another reason why a person may regurgitate food is intestinal obstruction. Nausea and belching accompany this condition, and in some cases suffocation may occur.
Belching during pregnancy
Belching foam has an unpleasant taste and occurs with gastroesophageal reflux. Appears immediately after eating, literally in a couple of minutes. Most often occurs in a horizontal position or at night. Symptoms may vary, but in general they include the following:
- Chest pain occurs after drinking or eating.
- There is a feeling of a lump in the throat.
- Nausea, diarrhea, maybe vomiting.
This illness occurs after eating hot and spicy foods, deep-frying, and sour foods. During pregnancy, a woman may regurgitate some of her food. This indicates the slow functioning of the digestive system. Even during pregnancy, heartburn often occurs, there may be constipation, nausea and belching of air. During pregnancy, namely in the second half, there is an increase in relapses and a woman may burp more often than usual, since the emerging baby grows and puts pressure on the organs during pregnancy.
In this case, there will be no immediate results from medications and other means. They just won't help. During pregnancy, this is a normal process, simultaneous with the development of the fetus. A few days after giving birth, everything will go away, and there is no point in using any treatment.
Belching sour after eating is often accompanied by a burning sensation. The problem plagues people with ulcers or gastritis. In this case, the food goes back into the esophagus, and the patient may feel an acidic, bitter taste in the mouth, as well as a burning sensation inside. If the burping air additionally stinks, then this is a symptom of a hernia.
- Consumption of large amounts of sweets.
- Ingestion of mushrooms, lamb or pearl barley.
- Eating sauerkraut.
- Drinking strong coffee.
The described ingredients can be used, but not constantly and in moderation. If you have eaten or drunk a lot, then the reasons for belching with acid are obvious. Appears, as a rule, half an hour after each meal in large doses. If the appearance occurs after 2 hours, then this is already a sign of the diseases described.
Belching with nausea after eating
Nausea after eating and belching occurs if you eat incorrectly. If you feel nauseous after a meal or have a stomach ache, the cause may be:
- Fatty or fried foods.
- They often suffer if they give physical activity after a meal, as a result of which their stomach begins to ache.
- Overdue consumption.
- Toxicosis during pregnancy.
- The cause of bloating and nausea can be tea, alcohol and other drinks consumed on an empty stomach.
You can remove such sensations by taking pills to improve stomach function. Frequent belching means gastrointestinal disease. The abdomen may swell from gases and air masses, and an imbalance in the body begins. There may be disruption of the functioning of other organs, for example, the gall bladder. In this case, bile belching occurs, bitter belching appears after eating, and treatment requires medical examination; this can be a serious problem.
In some diseases of the digestive system, central nervous system disorders, intoxication with alcohol, food or drugs, vomiting of bile may occur. Also, this condition is often observed in women in early pregnancy during the period of toxicosis. Vomiting is one of the ways the body self-cleanses harmful substances and, as a rule, after it a person’s condition improves. For effective treatment and prevention of recurrences of vomiting in the future, it is important to accurately determine the cause of the gag reflex.
Bile is one of the biological fluids of the human body, which is produced by special liver cells (hepatocytes) and accumulates in the gallbladder. It has a yellow color with a greenish or brown tint, a specific smell and a bitter taste. The main function of bile is to actively participate in the process of digesting food.
Vomiting of bile is usually preceded by such phenomena as a feeling of nausea, increased salivation, increased respiratory rate, and involuntary swallowing movements. Vomit containing bile is distinguished by a yellow-green color and a bitter taste, the sensation of which persists for a long time in the oral cavity.
When a person vomits bile, the reasons can be very different, ranging from ordinary food or alcohol poisoning to serious pathologies of the digestive system. Only a doctor can determine exactly why it happened after conducting a full examination of the patient. Sometimes vomiting can be caused by high fever, nervous disorders, circulatory disorders and brain diseases.
Causes of belching and nausea of a physiological nature
Constant nausea, which can be followed by vomiting, occurs under the influence of such factors:
- incorrect and irregular nutrition;
- eating poor quality food;
- abuse of alcoholic beverages;
- pathologies that have developed in the gastrointestinal tract;
- disruption of digestive processes;
- individual intolerance to certain products;
- long-term use of medications, etc.
If a person feels nauseous, but does not vomit, and foul-smelling belching occurs, then the following factors can be noted as the reasons for the development of the pathological condition:
- drinking strong coffee on an empty stomach;
- possible intoxication of the body due to alcohol-containing drinks consumed the day before;
- consumption of sour foods by people who have stomach diseases accompanied by an increased level of acidity;
- eating mushroom or meat dishes;
- meals at night;
- binge eating;
- too long breaks between meals;
- eating too hot or cold foods.
Other causes of nausea and air belching
Nausea, belching and weakness are signs of various gastrointestinal diseases. Most often, people who have developed pathological processes in the esophagus come to hospitals with complaints about such symptoms. A similar clinical picture is observed when the functionality of the stomach is impaired.
The following factors can lead to inflammation of the mucous organs of the gastrointestinal tract:
- infections and viruses;
- helminthic infestations;
- unbalanced and irregular nutrition;
- excessive consumption of junk food;
- passion for alcoholic drinks.
Nausea and belching may indicate the development of inflammation in the duodenum.
Also, such symptoms may signal the progression of such pathologies:
- pancreatitis;
- gastritis;
- ulcerative lesions;
- decreased sphinctral tone;
- occurrence of Zenker's diverticulum.
If nausea and belching are accompanied by flatulence, then during the examination of the patient, a highly specialized specialist may suspect the presence of the following pathologies:
- cholecystitis;
- cholangitis;
- cirrhosis;
- cholelithiasis;
- dyskinesia;
- polycystic disease;
- malignant neoplasms.
Dizziness, nausea and belching that appear in a person after suffering injuries may indicate disorders of the central nervous system. For example, such a clinical picture is observed with a concussion.
Belching food and nausea
If a person gets food fragments into the oral cavity at the time of belching, then the following pathological conditions can be considered as causes:
- When a large amount of juice accumulates in the stomach, a sour taste appears.
- If a person produces insufficient hydrochloric acid, then at the moment of belching he will feel an intense sour taste.
- If a bitter taste appears at the time of belching, one can suspect the accumulation of a large amount of bile in the duodenum.
- If a rotten taste is felt, then one should suspect a violation of the functionality of the stomach, in which stagnant processes are present.
Heaviness in the stomach
If nausea and belching are accompanied by heaviness in the stomach, then such symptoms may indicate the development of pathological processes in the gastrointestinal tract, which are provoked by the following factors:
- Eating junk food, lack of diet.
- Experienced stressful situations.
- Frequent psycho-emotional and physical overload.
- The presence of addictions, in particular smoking, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
- Difficult working conditions.
- The rhythm of life is too intense.
Painful sensations
If a person experiences nausea, belching and pain in the stomach, then such symptoms can be considered as a consequence of banal overeating.
The following factors can cause discomfort:
- A person immediately after the main meal begins to consume large quantities of fruits or juices. As a result, fermentation processes occur in the stomach, which provoke the manifestation of pathological symptoms.
- People's habit of drinking large amounts of liquid with meals can lead to discomfort. As a result, the acid concentration in the stomach rapidly decreases, and the process of digesting food occurs very slowly.
- Eating too late or at night, as well as the habit of eating poorly chewed food.
Such unpleasant symptoms will disappear on their own after a person normalizes his diet and begins to eat according to a regimen.
Pregnancy period
Being in an “interesting position,” expectant mothers often encounter problems with the gastrointestinal tract. They are caused by sharply changed taste preferences, as well as uncontrolled eating. Many women think that during pregnancy they cannot deny themselves anything and begin to consume large quantities of incompatible foods. As a result, the functioning of their gastrointestinal tract is disrupted, accompanied by unpleasant symptoms.
The following factors can provoke the occurrence of belching and nausea in the first trimester of pregnancy:
- hormonal changes in the body;
- impaired functioning of the digestive tract;
- exacerbation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases;
- an increase in the size of the uterus, due to which pressure begins to be exerted on the abdominal organs.
Nausea, belching, stomach pain
Pain in the stomach, combined with belching and nausea, can occur in people who are not used to denying themselves food and often overeat. These symptoms can also cause:
- eating shortly before going to bed;
- bad habit of washing down food with water, tea or milk, due to which the concentration of juice in the stomach decreases and the process of digesting food becomes more difficult;
- eating in a hurry, without chewing food thoroughly;
- drinking fruit juices or fruits in large quantities immediately after a heavy meal.
If nausea, belching and stomach pain occur due to the factors listed above, then these symptoms will disappear on their own. But if they occur systematically, it is better to seek advice from a gastroenterologist.
Treatment methods
If a person experiences unpleasant symptoms, he should not self-medicate, as improper use of medications can lead to the development of serious complications. In such a situation, you need to go to a hospital and make an appointment with a gastroenterologist. A highly specialized specialist will examine the patient and prescribe a number of laboratory and instrumental tests. Once the cause of belching and nausea is identified, a course of drug therapy will be prescribed.
