Apr 15, 2021
With the onset of the blessed month of Ramadan, one of the issues that many people experience after breaking their fast after a long day is belching or burping.
According to Dr Amal Premchandra Upadhyay, consultant gastroenterologist at Aster Hospital, Mankhool, Dyspeptic symptoms are frequently encountered during Ramadan including GERD, indigestion, bloating, belching and heartburns, particularly after eating too much at lftar or Suhoor meals.
This burping while at times unavoidable can be an inconvenience to others when attending the masaajid during taraweeh salaah.
Humanitarian centre Darul Ihsan says a Muslim must be mindful of those around him and avoid causing even the slightest inconvenience to anyone.
