Hi im a 28 year old male and i have never been able to burp. Occasionally one tiny burp will slip out but its never intentional. Instead i get these low grumbles in my lower throat area. Sounds like my stomach is rumbling except in my throat. Its made worse by drinking anything carbonated and gassy type foods like mexican. During its worst times it often causes me to dry heave and have great stomach pains
any ideas??

Hi Kev,
I'm thinking on it, too. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?
Love,

RE: Cant Burp
thanks for the replies
i just got out of the military and am inbetween health insurance
i have coverage with the military but i have no access to it because they tend to process paperwork slowly
so i have not talked to a doctor...

Kev
If you are in Britain you can see a doctor for free on the National Health. My gut feeling (sorry for the pun!) is that it may be connected to your eating habits, especially as it gets worse with carbonated drinks and spicy food.

Hi Kev,
Oh yes, gassy drinks and spicy food can be menacing to sensitive tummies like yours. Nothing's worse than to feel like this following eating and drinking these things. I bet you a doctor would tell you to avoid them. Drinking milky drinks usually helps to take away the painful colic that accompanies this type of thing.
Make sure that you sort out your health insurance as well, just in case you need to see your doctor.
Nasty!
Love,
Patsy.

RE: Cant Burp
Sounds like you may have acid reflux and/or hiatus hernia. Your best bet is to definitely see a doctor. You may want to do a search on the forums as I am sure there is some information about this condition.

RE: Cant Burp
OMg!! i get exactlly the same thing. its like ur throat gargles and sometimes when i feel really nauseus and i got to be sick loads of gas comes out then i'm fine!!! i thought it was just me!!!
RE: Cant Burp
My Nana gets this - by pure accident i got her to try some Liquid Chlorophyll and she let out this almighty belch, she said the horrible feeling in her stomach completely went. My son also gets these weird gassy burps which wont come out properly, he is drinking liquid chlorophyll too and it seems to be helping though not as apparent as it helped my nana.
RE: Cant Burp
i can't burp either and, when it gets too bad, i have to (yuk!) stick my fingers down my throat and then the air comes out! and i have a very healthy diet, no carbonated anything, even water can make me feel like this! i just figured that it's the way i'm made!
RE: Cant Burp
Sounds like there are a few people here who understand you Kev - it does sound like a hiatus hernia - my Nana had it too.
Its not in the genes though - unfortuntately I burp a lot! sometimes I forget where I am and do it out loud! my parents use to scold me for it but now they just laugh and tell me it's better than my f*arts!
Happy Friday everyone - thank goodness for the weekends!

I get like that sometimes but normally resort to homeopathy and take Carbo Veg. Usually within 15 mins any trapped gas comes out one way or another. Works very well when I get a now rare (thanks to avoiding soya in all forms) bloat, which makes me look like I am 6 months pregnant.
