Excessive belching is a common presentation to gastroenterology clinics and could be isolated complains or associated with other gastrointestinal problems. PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW: It is to describe the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of belching disorders RECENT FINDINGS: These demonstrate that learned abnormal behaviors in response to unpleasant feeling in the abdomen are the driving causes for excessive belching and addressing these behaviors by speech pathology and cognitive behavior therapy considered as the keystone in its management The gold standard in the diagnosis of belching is impedance monitoring by which belching is classified into supragastric belching and gastric belching.
