so take them out of your diet completely for a while.

Given the fact that all the foods you're mentioning have

anti-fungal/biotic/viral properties I have to wonder if the burping

might actually be a die-off reaction. Just a thought.

little onion et al burping is worth it ;-).

sounds like it is just fermentation to me - a reaction you don't want.

You're right, Mara, with gas it can go eitehr way. If its

fermentation, the gas produced would be exponential, whereas a die-off

reaction would produce a more finite amount of gas. So, in my

experience, if its repeated burping that doesn't provide relief, its a

result of fermentation; but cathartic gas or burping that happens once

or twice and isn't uncomfortable or feels like a relief afterward

would be caused by bacterial death. Does that make sense?
