Q&A for How to Burp

Drink lots of soda or other bubbly drinks, quickly. Lots of bubbles make a big burp. Eating food and flushing down with lots of soda can also help make one big burp.

Some people think it's funny. In other cases, burping can help relieve discomfort from gas in your stomach.

To release gas from the body.

The gas will come out a different way.

Drink a lot of beverages with bubbles. This will help you burp. It might be helpful to also relax, as you may be keeping the burp inside.

If you feel like you might throw up, take it slowly, so you don't.

No. Pat your chest and rub your stomach. Also try drinking seltzer.

You'd have to experiment, but you will probably never have a "good" smelling burp. The stomach gasses do not smell good, no matter what you eat.

Do whatever feels right at the time. Your body pretty much knows what it needs to do automatically in terms of expelling gas, so try not to force anything. If you're experiencing a lot of discomfort, talk to your doctor.

Swallow air and nothing else. You should feel an air bubble in your throat. Then just let it out.

Other than swallowing air, eating and drinking, burping can be caused by a food allergy, gallbladder problems or acid reflux disease.

Continue swallowing air. This can be uncomfortable until the burp comes up.

This is supposed to happen. The gasses come from your stomach, through your throat, and out your mouth or nose.

Try to open your mouth and swallow as much air as possible. This should help you to burp as the air is released.

You would just breathe out regularly.

Let it out slowly, and try to push it out with not a lot of force. Try to cut down on bubbly drinks, and eat food with smaller bites to prevent gas.

It might make you burp, but it might also make you throw up, so I'd suggest sticking with something carbonated.

It depends on the amount of air swallowed. If it is a big swallow, then it may make a sound.

No, it's the hydrochloric acid build up in your stomach just take heartburn tablets (heartburn is not to do with your heart).

You'll hear it, and if you're doing it loudly, other people may hear you or see you swallowing air too, so I recommend doing this when no one else is around.

There is no link between being able or unable to burp and having a heart attack. If you're concerned about the health of your heart or your overall health, see a doctor.

You can 'swallow' air and use that to burp, which you can do as much of as you want. But you can also use gases from your stomach that bubble up and burp with those, which is a more natural process. The latter you can only do as much of as there are gases, and reducing the amount of gases by burping will indeed quiet down the digestion. But there doesn't seem to be much of a causal link here, no.

It happens, yes. Try writing a 4 with your left hand while writing a 6 with the right. We're used to using our hands more or less symmetrically, so one wants to follow the other. The same is true for the exits from our bodies. We're used to keeping them shut all the time, and it can happen that as you unexpectedly burp, the restraint placed by your body on those exits is lifted simultaneously. But hey, you can train this.

It depends on the occasion. Some people might think so, so it really depends on the time, the place and the people present.
