I can't burp.

Hey guys
I have had this problem all my life and its really annoying.
I have never done a natural burp (maybe when i was a baby but not in the past 15 years at least)
Even when i have eaten a huge meal or have been drinking fizzy drinks i just don't burp and it really does my head in because i end up feeling really bloated and espically when im drinking alcho pops or beers because all the gas builds up in my stomach and makes me feel really bloated and gassy which makes me feel sick.
And no i don't let it out the other end either! Instead of burping i get these weird gurlgles come up in my throat and sometimes its really embarasing because they can be quite loud, i have noticed i get the gurgles really bad after i have been smoking weed aswell?! Don't really know how its all connected?
Does anyone else have thsi problem? Know any ways of making myself burp??! lol
Thanks

Like sucking lots of air down you throat to make a burpy noise.
yeah i get those embarrasing gargles the rest of my family burp like pigs....
And sometimes I yawn so widely that my throat makes a loud burpy noise. Which is pretty embarrassing.
Yeah, I know.
It also means i can't down any sort of drink :crying: so i feel left out when it comes to downing compitions! (and burping competions of course!)
p.s wooooo we made front page of thesite

hey man, i have the same problem.. know exactly what you go thru.. it sucks bigtime.. always sick after I eat.. Basically from researching it.. i found that what it is is basically the opposite of acid reflux.. that valve that opens up when people get acid reflux, well, it likes to stay shut with us.. i've read that they can do surgery to fix it but i've found a way to burp.. it's not a normal sounding burp and won't allow you to burp on command but it will save you for sure when you feel sick from not being able to when you need to. here's how you do it.
when you feel like you should be burping or getting the air out do this.
stick your jaw out, tilt yur head up (get the straightest passage way you can)
contract your abdominal muscles (much like you do when yur puking) and open your throat as much as you can..
practice this as much as you can and you'll do it.. trust me.. i know how it is when you ask people and no one seems to get it.. all they say is "just swallow air" that does not work.. and means nothing.. i don't get why people say that.. anyway, try that and get back to me.
EXACTLT what i have! and then i get really loud gurgles and everyone laughs i hate not being able to burp
He is a she
I guessed because there was a man as the av, it was a he. But thats ironic coming from someone with a pin up in theres.
heyy i have the same problems. my name is Julie and i am 17 years old. I live in new jersey. i've done research and EVERYTHING and there are not many of us. i get these gurgles after i eat and then i can't breathe because i feel like my chest fills up with air...so i have to stick my finger in my mouth/throat to make myself burp...i don't throw up just burp...but it's all really embarrasing and annoying and horrible. and i want to find out how to fix it! doctors can't even figure me out. please message me via e-mail if you have the same problem. thanks

This topic was great for me, for now I know why every morning I "gag" when brushing my teeth. It is that "burp" that previous posters have spoken about! Nothing comes out, but a huge gush of air. Different then a normal "gag." That whole gurgle thing, I hate that too. I have done it a couple of times when making out with a girl. I feel it coming, so I try and pull away.... Embarrassing all the same.
I feel like I know you all so well!

P.S. I do let mine out the other end... just not quick enough!
(I know it's an old thread but bah never mind.)
Does anyone know of anyone who has ever had this fixed? I've never talked to a doctor who understands what I'm talking about, much less knows how to fix it.
Nice to see you all here, and that I'm not alone!!!!!!! :thumb:
And I'm a weirdo too.
Thought I'd do a quick search and seems there are many who can't burp.
I can now but not until I was 25. I can't burp on demand & get little warning of one coming but god it's great to get that gas out. Up to then out drinking etc I'd reach critical mass, no release & would end up doing one massive, painful burp & throw up everywhere. Then I felt great! I always thought that when people burped they just made the noise themselves, so that's what I did for 25 years & thought nothing of it. Only beer or a litre of coke was a real problem, the rest of the time it was just discomfort. If you can't burp I would say go see a specialist, it will substantially improve your quality of life, trust me. If only I'd known it wasn't right I would of done something about it sooner.
Good luck all who can't burp, push your doc to see a specialist & sort it out.
Who specializes in "people who can't burp"? The last GP I told about it looked at me like I had three heads and one of them was speaking Greek.... THANK YOU for your feedback, and I'm glad you found relief!!!!
