RE: Cant Burp
hay everyone, i have suffered with the same symptoms my entire life, im28yo male. just one point, it seems to me after eating i may be producing to much saliver, some times when im travelling i get the bloating sensation followed by the anxiety, and the only way i can relieve it is to start spitting out saliver, after a while it seems to help. i have tried most things i can think of, i used to stick my fingers down my throat and i would usually vomit air the first two times, then on the third go i would actually vomit. but still this onlyprovides temporyrelief, although i still need to do it on occasions when im feelingreally bloated.it seems to just build up again after a short while, infact the best solution i have found is relaxing. its not perfect or even possible sometimesbut its strange how the symptoms come on, its like there stress related. sometimes the symptoms come on when i have not eaten anything at all.
RE: Cant Burp
I googled "I can't burp" and came to this website. I have the same problem and have had it since I was in middle school. Caffeine makes it worse. I haven't gotten to the point of sticking my finger down my throat. What I do that helps a little is clench my stomach muscles in an effort to squeeze the gas out. I also have acid reflux and sometimes this clenching makes me vomit a little. Not many people are talking about one of the side effects, farting. The gas has to go somewhere and for me it ends up going through my intestine which is uncomfortable. I had no idea so many people had the same problem, my friends just laugh at me and can't understand the concept of not being able to burp. There is a need for a treatment to this ailment I hope we all can find relief.
RE: Cant Burp
Well, well, well. EVERYONE HOLD ON TO THEIR SEATS, I MAY HAVE A SOLUTION.
Ok. I'm a 21-year-old female and have had this belching problem for about 6 years. I had a bad case of bronchitis and one day I woke up and couldn't burp. I tried everything, jumping up and down, to sticking my fingers down my throat, tums, cirucell, ext. I eventally just learned to live with the discomfort and the ridiculous amount of bloating. Burps would get caught down in my stomach, and I would try to work them up, but they would always get caught in my chest or in my throat and then I could feel them go back down into my stomach. My heart would pound at night and I would have to sleep with my arms above my head to stretch me out so I could breathe. The bloating would press up against my lungs and make me feel like I was going to pass out when just trying to walk. This gave me panic attacks. When I would lay down, food and liquids I just consumed would come back up. It was awful! I always felt so full of air and wanted to throw up, no to mention the gas, how horrible. I would have to sit up in bed at night or after eating, or just whenever and beat on my stomach and chest just to get some air up to help.
I finally went to see a gastroenterologist last year and he put me on all the stupid stuff for acid reflux and nothing worked. He had me do a barium swallow (the worst I have ever felt in my life, and they could still see NOTHING wrong with me). And then I also had an upper GI (upper endoscopy) performed, and still nothing. He then assumed it was a muscle problem and put me on a medication called Diasepam. I went ahead and took the one pill a day thinking nothing would happen, and guess what? I HAD RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now here's the catch: Diasepam is mainly intended for anxiety, but can also be used for muscle spasms. The bad part is that it is a narcotic, and can become addictive, and is a form of Valume. After taking it for sometime I felt SO MUCH BETTER. And after I had been on it for sometime and I tried to stop taking it to see if I could function well without it too, I unfortunately went right back to the way I started. When I take this medication, I can belch, but only very loudly and very largely. It stopped the food traveling back up me when I lay down, and best of all, it stopped the bloating (to an extent). I never feel sick anymore!!!! It doesn't work 100%, but I'd give it a good 70%. I feel somewhat normal again! I have noticed that when I chew or drink (and you should look for this too) is that I swollow a ridiciulous amount of air when I am eating. My diagnosis of myself is that my muscles are too tense ornot workingcorrectlyto let air up, and to make matters worse, I have a problem to where I swollow too much air (the doctor had a name for that condition). Unfortuately I still have a seriously bad amount of gas, but it's definitely better than being sick all the time and I can BURP!!!!
It will probably take some convincing to get your doctor to put you on this medication, but let me tell you, it has changed my life and made me feel so much better. I am still seeing other doctors to try to cure me altogether, so let's cross our fingers and hope one of us figures it out. I just think it's so silly that we have to be put on such a serious medication to give us relief. I really do assume it's a muscular problem.
RE: Cant Burp
Just correcting myself a bit . . .
The drug I take is spelled Diazepam, 1 pill a day at 2 milligrams.
It is a form of Valium.
When you swallow too much air when you eat, drink, chew gum, suck on stuff, etc. it is called aerophagia.
RE: Cant Burp
like everyone i registered just for this forum.
I am 18 and I have the same problem as many of you and have never burped in my life. My mom says even as a baby i would vomit instead of burping.I get the same symptoms as many of the other posts such as the gurgle and bloating. I have been able to live with this problem until I'd say junior year in High School when i started to realize I had a problem.When I would go to a party and drink beer it was obvious i physically could not burp.It felt like all the air was just tarpped in my stomach until i kept drinking and the air forced its way out with everything else in my stomach.When the air builds up I just vomit.This also happens with anything carbonated such as soda.I went to see a gastro doc and he sent me for a GI barium thing (which completely sucked) and it showed it takes me 3 hours to digest food. Dont know if that has anything to do with the burping. i went to a new gastro and im having an endoscopy on wednesday and this guy says he most likely wont do anything for me except give me dieting tips unless he finds something wrong with the anatomy of my stomach or intestines. Im getting pretty aggrivated because a simple thing like burping would improve my life so much. I want to gte a cure for this before college so I am able to go out and drink like every other normal human being who goes to college! I will bring up that medicine that the last post just said but im willing to bet he will not prescribe it because he seems like an ass. Anyway just sharing my story and if i find out anything after my endoscopy that can help you guys ill repost again.
Keep this post going as long as we can!
RE: Cant Burp
Yeah, both of my gastroenterologists are stupid. They won't even listen to what is wrong with me. They're just like, "More tests. More tests. More tests." I've had a barium swallow where after they made me swallow all that white junk and then take a tablet so they could watch it go down, and the tablet got stuck in my chest and wouldn't go down because I was so full of air.Allof my expensive tests haveproven unconclusive, even though during all of them I have felt the worst I have ever felt in my life. It's very hard to believe that for as bad as I felt that they could not have noticed something wrong. Anyways, my both of my doctors argue whether or not I should be on this medication. But think about it this way:
If none of the DIGESTIVE tests are showing anything, and I am on a MUSCLE RELAXER, and that has helped tremendously, wouldn't you assume that it is a MUSCLE problem we have? One of my gastroenterologists has even said that he didn't know if what we were dealing with was even a digestive problem, although it's easy to assume it is because it deals with belching. My next step is to get an appointment with a muscle specialist, if there even is such a thing.
Also, unfortunately you cannot drink (or shouldn't) while on this medication. Believe me, I've tried, and after one beer I feel like hitting the floor. My gastroenterologist warned me that it makes the effects of alcohol 10 times stronger if not more, and I believe it. Makes me a very, very cheap drunk that's for sure. Anyways, whenever I know I'm going to drink, I just don't take my medicine that day and just deal with it. Usually works out fine.
RE: Cant Burp
Well Im hoping that theresa less strong medication than the form of valume thatyou're on because valume + alcohol= bad news..when I went to the first gastro guy he said there are many types of medicines that relax the smooth muscles which help burping..but Im not sure if those are safe with alcohol..Even if they arent safethe medicine would just help me every day when i eat so i would still love it. But on the days that you don't take the medicine can you still burp or do your symptoms go back tothe way it wasif you skip a day?
RE: Cant Burp
The day I don't take it is usually alright. I mean, towards the end of the day I can tell that I haven't taken it but it's not severe like it normally is. After about 2 days, I am right back to how I started, and I feel terrible and can't burp and get all bloated, etc.
RE: Cant Burp
Does anyone know if they sell smooth muscle relaxers over the counter?
RE: Cant Burp
well i had an endoscopy today (which is a lot better than the barium test) and it turns out that i have 3 things wrong.
i have a hiatal hernia, GERD, and gastritis. My doctor gave me a prescription for it but i dont know if this will allow me to burp or not..we'll find out soon i guess.I have a follow up in 2 weeks so we'll see what he says about the inability to burp and if these things are causing it.
well i'll keep updating until i find the answer to the problem.
RE: Cant Burp
I must admit, now thinking about it, it could well be a muscular problem as I often find my stomach tensed up but am unable to loosen the muscles.
Maybe we are getting somewhere.... it'd be great to find a cure!

RE: Cant Burp
hey everyone! 🙂
i posted a while back. (my post is the longest 1 on here you can't miss it. haha)
i had bronchitis about a month and a half ago and the doctor that was treating me was actualy interrested in this whole inability to burp and breathing problems from it and everything. i gave him a list of some websites and he went on his own doctors site and look everything up. he took time to look into my case. him and my doctor whose name is julie like me talked about my case. i went to see her last thursday because i had a breathing attack after lunch at school. i didn't want to do the forced burps because i didn't want to throw up because i ate so much. so i went to the nurse (she was very mean about it because she wouldnt let me lay on my back even though i told her i had to do that to breathe. she said people who can't breathe shouldn't lay on their backs because that makes it worse. i had to lean back in a chair.) my doctor wrote a note for me saying i could lay down when this happens...also heres the GREAT NEWS!!! they know what i have!!!!! they're going to tell me soon because my doctor forgot the name and she has to ask the other doctor who has all the information.
she did tell me that i have a rare condition that not many people have heard of. there are only 5 reported cases in the United States. 5 PEOPLE INCLUDING ME IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES!!!!! wow. this shocked me. she told me the other doctor looked into it and found the name and everything. they are supposed to tell me everything tomorrow when i go for a followup visit.
i can't wait!!!!! my whole life i've been trying to get doctors to believe me and help me! i finally found 2 that did. my doctor only remembered the male doctor saying that it was rare and there is no cure but there are medicines to try to control it. she definitly doesn't want me on the heavy muscle relaxers because that is the absolute last option. she said my case is the worst out of the 5 that were reported. as of right now i am on these chewable tablets called simethicone gas relief and the brand is leader. there are 100 tablets and they come in a turquoiseish bottle.if you have any questions about it ask me! they don't make you fart or burp or anything. i guess you still fart as much as usual butit makes you feel likeyou don't need to burp out air because itreduces the air trapped inside of you.they basiclydo something with the gasbubbles while they're still in your stomach! it makes it so much easier to breathe. it really is helping. it's obviously not enough but i can breathe now after i eat! it says 1-2 after meals but i take 2-4 depending on how much i eat since my condition is bad. now after i eat i don't get gurlgles in my chest as much as i used to. i still have attacks but not every day likei used to. thesetablets are seriously amazing.ive tried soooo many medicines and who knew that an over the counter chewable tablet would help more than anything?!? i wish there were a cure but there isn't so i'm going to keep trying things and posting updates. i'll let you all know details as soon as i find out. I TOLD YOU ALL I WOULDN'T LET YOU DOWN! :Di knew i'dd find something out. i never give up. lifes too short to give up. corny statement i know. i just turned 18 a few days ago and this information was what i wished for when i blew out my candles (as i wish for every year) and 2 days later i got my wish this year. i'll keep you all posted! in the meantime try the medicine. and e-mail me or post if you have any questions or want to talk on aim i'm free to talk! i hope i've helped you all. it doesn't stop here. i'll post lots more!!!!! 😉

RE: Cant Burp
Amazing!I thought I was alone in this world as well. Like the majority of everyone else, I too get those annoying gurgling noises instead of burping. I can relate to the embarrasment as well as trying to explain it to the person next to you. I have given up alcohol (Im in college too:() as well as trying to eat a generally healthy diet. Nothing helps except lying on your back. Oddly enough, just laying on my side at night actually increases the frequency. I recently went to the doctor, who prescribed Prilosec, which got rid of the occassional heartburn. I have been researching our symptoms and have found somewhat close diagnosies. Some say its something to do with "the ring of schatzki", or even an upside down stomach. One person said they had a balloon inflate their 9mm Lower Esphogeal Spincter to 14mm and they were then able to burp. However, no one seems to be able to describe it unless they themselves have it. Im just praying that somewhere a doctor actually realizes that this is an actual problem and there's more than one person suffering (we're not alone!). Hey at least its not fatal...
