Lump, air comes up through mouth

Welcome to e health forum.

The loud noises that you are concerned about are normal physiological sounds associated with movement of gas within the stomach and intestines. Such sounds are termed as borborygmus.

Stomach or intestinal gas is a byproduct generated during the process of digestion. It is generally expelled from the body, either ‎through the mouth (called belching or burping) or through the rectum (flatulence or flatus).

In your case, excess production of gas resulting in your symptoms are probably due to indigestion related issues, Gastric reflux disorder, irregular dietary habits, or ingestion of excess gas while eating.

To relieve your symptoms, you might need to avoid foods that make your symptoms increase. Adopting a healthy dietary practices and a good exercise regimen will also improve your intestinal motility.

2. Try eating a little more slowly. When you eat fast, you swallow extra air with your food. Try to not talk while eating. Extra air while eating can lead to belching and gas production.
3. Eating at the same time each day and eating smaller meals more frequently may be beneficial as well.
4. Try to eat a balanced diet. Foods with high fiber may initially increase gas production. However, the this will decrease over time.
