Why does gastritis cause burping?

Gastritis, the inflammation of the stomach lining, can lead to excessive gas production and altered digestion. This irritation can slow down gastric emptying, causing food and gas to accumulate in the stomach, which results in increased pressure. As a result, the body may expel this excess gas through burping. Additionally, inflammation may trigger the release of certain digestive enzymes and acids, further contributing to gas buildup and discomfort.
