The reason i brought up the water is possible Led poisoning:
Very high levels may cause vomiting, stumbling, muscle weakness, seizures or coma. Abdominal pain (stomach ache) and cramping is usually the first sign of a high, toxic dose of lead poison.
At lower levels, subtle changes can happen in brain function. The child may appear healthy and normal, or may have symptoms like:
acting irritable or grouchy
behavior problems (like acting hyper or aggressive)
learning problems
tiredness or weakness
low appetite and energy
headaches
weight loss
sleep problems
constipation

4
Chew one fresh clove leaf after every meal to keep from belching. Fresh clove leaves soothe the digestive system and keep any gas issues from arising.

Add 2 tsp. of baking soda to a full 8-oz. glass of water and stir until the baking soda is completely dissolved. This mixture is a great way to instantly eliminate belching.
Tips & Warnings
Chewing gum can cause you to swallow air. If you are afraid of belching during an important interview or date, refrain from chewing gum. Slow down your eating, as consuming food at a fast rate can cause air to fill your stomach, which will then cause you to belch.
If you have a sharp pain in your stomach and it does not go away for several hours, consult your doctor immediately.
