I have this condition and it's torture, and people don't take me seriously.

I have this but it seriously doesnt bother me. If i do drink a lot of beer i will have to taccy c. But i dont have much pain. So the worst thing is that burping is extra gross to me

I have this. I think, i genuinely can’t remember the last time i burped

I might have this, after drinking sodas for example it feels like ait gets stuck in my chest and won't come out, and when it does it feels like I burp through my chest. And when I lay down I feel air escaping..

I cant burp, i can gag myself without my fingers but sounds so loud

[girlypopgeek]

This is totally normal, right? 💀 (I’m gonna get treated when I can. I’ve been unable to burp since infancy, but I didn’t realise all this other body discomfort may be related and most importantly solvable!)

I remember explaining to my gastro consultant that I can’t burp and he just laughed at me
