Eating fatty foods, which can delay stomach emptying and make you feel uncomfortably full..Drinking carbonated beverages or eating gassy foods...Eating too quickly, drinking through a straw, chewing gum or sucking on candies, resulting in swallowing air...Stress or anxiety...SmokingA gastrointestinal infection, blockage or diseaseIrritable bowel syndrome, a condition characterized by abdominal pain or cramping and changes in bowel function...Conditions such as celiac disease or lactose intolerance in which the intestines aren't able to digest and absorb certain components of food
