Burping can be caused by swallowing air. Sometimes when I eat chicken breast I

get a

constrivtion like a gas bubble that won;t budge above my diaohragm. Pounding my

back

with a llomg handled bath brush doesn't doa thing. Eventualluy it escaoes by

itself (the

burp that is) but I feel like I'm choking in the meantime.

Here is what a doctor stated and I found it by " Googling. "

After polishing off a particularly palatable plate of bratwurst, you uncork a

belch that

seems to bounce off the Bavarian Alps. Your host's reaction: an invitation to

next year's

polka party. Your stomach's: Thanks for letting me blow off a little steam—or at

least a

little trapped air.

While you're chewing and sipping, air routinely makes its way into your mouth,

stealing a

ride down your esophagus when you swallow. From there, one of two things

happens: The

air is either pushed into your stomach or sits at the bottom of your esophagus

waiting for

the next elevator up. Then, like a bubble at the bottom of a water cooler, the

air suddenly

drifts back up your throat and out of your mouth—sometimes on cue.

" You could fill someone's stomach with air and there's no guarantee that he'll

burp, " says

, M.D., professor of medicine at town University in Washington

D.C.,

and a spokesman for the American Association of Gastroenterologists. " But if he

has air

trapped in his esophagus, he's a prime candidate. "

" Swallowing air is probably one of the most common causes of burping, " says

Wendell

ston, M.D., an assistant professor and director of the Fellowship Training

Program in

Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

Food allergies and sensitivity to milk can also contribute to burping, as can a

deficiency of

stomach acid.
