Drinking carbonated drinks such as beer, soft drinks or champagne can also cause burps. If belching is combined with heartburn, dyspepsia or nausea, than hiatal hernia or peptic ulcer may be the real cause. A hiatal hernia is the protrusion of the upper part of the stomach into the thorax, through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm. An X-ray would diagnose the hiatal hernia, while upper GI endoscopy can help in the diagnostics of a peptic ulcer.
