swallowing air?

Hi everyone,

I have noticed that when I eat or drink I feel like I have to burp. Sometimes I feel ill and dry heave until the air comes out, other times I relax and breath and eventually burp. I get relief after that. Sound familiar? I take about 15 mins to eat me 2 ounces. I do know that I will drink too fast if I just grab a cup without thinking. I try to be very conscious of what I am doing. I don't like the feeling of an over inflated balloon in my abdomen. Does anyone have any suggestions as to decrease my air intake? I do not use straws.

Thanks,

Mary

Hi Mary

I had the same problem- Every day it would get better and by the end of the month I ate and drank normally without the air problem.

I had that problem too, sip sip sip, no drinking so to speak and chew until it's liquid, thats what helped me the most, it does get better.

I had the same trouble. Occasionally I would have to lie down gently on my belly or put my hands under my thighs and roll forward to get the air to move. It got better on its own.
