Burping acts like a relief valve because it lowers the stomach pressure.

Once the stomach has pressure it is employed next to the Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) valve. The valve becomes open when pressure gets too great. If the pressure continues to build up it reaches the Upper Esophageal Sphincter valve and opens up. Which makes stomach acids rush up to our mouths causing us to belch or belch.

Liquid levels climb in the stomach once the food displaces the contents in our stomachs. This pressure puts fourth against the Lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Therefore we belch after eating and burp after drinking. H.pylori bacterium or a peptic ulcer are forms of stomach disorder.
