In my youngerdays notreally an issue. The only time that i have ever done a decent burp is whenretching (notcoz of gp)instead if my stomach is working (younger non gp days or using a motility drug)whathappens is that wind bubbles out gradually - this is ok with me from a comfortpt of view.However if i get serious volumes of wind i am in the same situation as you.what provides some relief is the "cobra" yoga position, just hold that and relaxand thewind bubbles out slowly. More effective is a sequence whose name i can'tremember butits something like "good morning to the sun" or something when translated fromtheoriginal Indian lang - sorry not got my yoga books with me any more. But thelattersequence can only be done on an empty or near empty stomach - for the refluxreasonsyou mention - in other words if i've had a bad stomach time but waited longenough for itto empty with some residual wind left - only then can i use this remedy.my favourite form of management is to avoid the wind in the first place via foodcombining - i posted on this subject recently.despite what i'm saying all this helps but not completely solves my problems.regards,Mike--- In gastroparesis@yahoogroups.com, "Elicia" <lilangl1219@y...> wrote:> Hey everyone.
