What is the color of a burp?

A burp is a sudden release of air from the stomach through the mouth. It can be caused by eating or drinking too quickly, swallowing air, or having certain medical conditions. The color of a burp can vary depending on what caused it.

* Clear or colorless burps are the most common. They are usually caused by swallowing air.

* White or foamy burps can be caused by drinking carbonated beverages or eating foods that produce gas, such as beans or cabbage.

* Yellow or green burps can be a sign of a medical condition, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or a hiatal hernia.

* Black or bloody burps can be a sign of a serious medical condition, such as a bleeding ulcer or stomach cancer.

If you are concerned about the color of your burps, talk to your doctor.
