Awkward question about... Burping.

Ok, you can laugh.  But I was wondering if any one else has a difficult time burping?  There are times where I wish I could burp to let some pressure out after eating/drinking but I can't...  Or if I do, a little something comes up uninvited.

I searched this topic before posting but the threads tended towards an increase in burping post-op so I may just be in the minority but who knows...

I have the same issue.  I try to force a burp to relieve some pressure, I wish I could just belch naturally.  I seem to get a lot of trapped gas which is hard to expel.  I think I may need a change of PPI.  I did take some gaviscon today which helped somewhat.

I may have to look into that, thank you!

Yup, go through it every day. Every time I drink or eat I swallow too much air (at least it feels like that) and I want to burp but have a hard time doing it.

And when I do burp the same thing happens to me, feels like a little something comes up but not too bad. My burps are very small, but as long as I can release any air I am happy.

Hugs,

Rita

I still have the same problem.  What I do is gurgle...non stop!!  The burping, not so much.  But holy crap, do I gurgle!!

Use ginger for any digestive issue.  I was having painful gas in my esophagus.  I started drinking ginger herbal teas and putting a little ginger in my clear soups and it has helped greatly.  Twinings Ginger and Lemon tea is nice and the lemon counteracts the spicy ginger.

Thank you for the suggestion!  I wonder if my Ginger Peach tea can help with that...
