Many people cannot tolerate milk or wheat products. Emotional stress is another cause. It often occurs while eating while nervous, upset or exhausted. Cigarettes, alcohol, and some drugs may cause it. It may also be a mild symptom of a hidden condition such as peptic ulcer, hiatal hernia, or gastritis.
Antacids can often bring relief.
In the long-run, however, it is wiser to identify the cause of the symptoms and make lifestyle changes. It may be as simple as taking extra time for a relaxed meal.
