Frequent belching (hiccups) in non-superficial atrophic gastritis is a reflexive behavior of inflammation that leads to indigestion that produces gastric gas accumulation. Gastric belching occurs primarily during transient relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and is a physiologic protective mechanism that prevents over-distension of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastric belching occurs when the accumulation of gas in the stomach dilates the stomach, triggering a transient relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, and air enters the esophagus, dilating the proximal esophagus and triggering a second reflex, relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter, and eventual expulsion of the gas from the mouth. Non-atrophic gastritis may cause abnormal accumulation of gas in the stomach due to disturbed gastrointestinal motility, producing belching. If non-atrophic gastritis is diagnosed, early and standardized treatment in hospital is recommended to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
