I have known people who could recited the ABC's while belching. I just want to know how to do it so I get can some relief. <_<

One or two good ones would set my life at ease, and make me live again. :)

Please help, I am miserable.

I don't know how to really explain it, you just kind of swallow air.

oh dear gaaawd...I grew up with brothers also....I can burp louder and longer than anyone I personally know, can burp many alphabet letters, Lisa.....this is fantastically entertaining around the campfire but a skill that I must use, um, judiciously.... :lol:yet another useless talent.....

Okay now here's what you do. Am doing it right now as an act of selfless altruism to help my non-burping friend. Go like this...how the heck do I explain what I'm doing? :lol: dang a good one just slipped out :lol: .....you have to push your throat closed and then....force air down the back....it makes a noise.....then the pretty burp can come out. Now, I don't recommend this for an amateur, but if you force air down for about five solid minutes and KEEP it there for a couple of minutes more, you can expect a huge, voluminous, whopper of a belch lasting up to.....12 to 14 seconds and dissolving the room in shocked, helpless screams of laughter. Not kidding.

Don't be jealous. :rolleyes: I have tried to teach others and I do think talented on-demand burping is a hereditary trait, I am so sorry. ;)

Really, it's so hard to explain! I sincerely tried to think of how it happens, & I really couldn't describe it...

Try to describe how you sneeze... it's just hard!

I know this is pain full. The green GasX sometimes work but I usually have my hubby 'burp' me like when our kids needed burping...he presses the palm of his hand on my shoulder blade (where ever you feel the pressure) and then pushed deep and hard up towards my neck as I am taking deep breaths in...for as long as it takes..i usually just start burping.

If he's not around, i back up to the corner of a wall and press really hard with my shoulder blade and try to blech. it works for me hope it does for you

it's really painful.

also as someone said ..any carbonated soda will do it...or pepto sometimes helps me.

good luck

Good Morning Celia, Susan, Armetta, and LISA

LISA--HOW ARE YOU FEELING THIS MORNING? DID YOU COME BACK ON LAST NTIE TO TRY MY TIP?

I FINALLY WENT TO BED EARLY.

Celia, I don't think you upset anyone! I know I come on there when I need a laugh and always get one too..I come to get support and give support...and think i get way more support than i give..:) The only thing that keeps us going with the 'crappy' disease is the humor and I need that alot.

I have been where Lisa was and it was painful and I wanted to get to bed. First time in weeks I'd been to bed before 1:00....so wanted to get on and off and get computer shut down. Now that it's been moved into an armoire, noticed that it gets hot with the doors closed so turning it off at nite.

I put this on the 'new message reply' to Celia from the other forum.(Forget the name but enjoying it esp the info), so i'm just doing a cut and paste.(sorry folks so much to do todya!!!)

I wanted to ck on Lisa..Just Mothering 'Momma Ggoose' I guess ...since my mom passed a few months ago and son in CA ...think i need to MOTHER SOMEONE ha...at least that's what my hubby says... "I have a Mother...stop mothering me"

HA

HA

well back to work.

So are you feeling better Celis and did you figure out it was the water?????

Lisa-hope you are feeling better. Let us know!

I second the carbonated beverage. I drink cokes a lot and it always helps! Sometimes a little too much. My husband refers to me when I let out these burps as "Sexy Laura"

Hi Lisa--

I was actually having a similar problem last night.

I had trapped gas that was painfully pressing up against my ribs--bordering on nausea.

I think what triggered it was that I drank a natural soda yesterday, and I only drink carbonated things infrequently.

I found that walking around (while watching TV--I couldn't sit, it was too painful) helped me--I walked and stood thru an entire episode of The Sopranos on DVD! Eventually, I started belching a little bit, and got some relief.

Hope you are feeling much better today :)

Thanks:

I felt so unconfortable so I just went to bed. Much better this morning. I try to take a pepsid about lunch time to frevent the afternoon gas build up. Judy, I have tried to carbonation drinks and it just gets worse.

I'll try gas X maybe that will help.

Judy, I'm glad to see what you look like, yes, the motherly type (a compliment, yes, it was :) Sorry to hear about your mother. I lost mine when I was 2 1/2 so the only mothering I have known is my own.. You can mother me anytime.

I'm a BIG FAN of phazyme. Two of those and you'll be chock full of relief :)

Beware though - relief comes at both ends :ph34r:

Sodas are bad and only add bubbles to your stomach. Gas x will work unless you have the kind of gas that just keeps on multiplying.

I found that rubbing my abdomen and the spot in my body that hurt would make me burp.

For more permanent relief, I have found recently that drinking a small glass of plain kefir works. Which leads me to think this is a yeast problem. :unsure:

And avoid the foods that cause this the next time. Also, I found that I burp more if I eat too quickly.

We need a little burping smiley face :lol:

Hope this helps.

Susan, your instructions suck. My husband thought I was going into some sort of autistic spasams, with no relief. :ph34r:

Lisa; Here are the instructions from the oldest poster around! <_< Get a large glass of water and add 1tsp. of baking soda, stir and drink down. Soon you will burp!! this is from my Mom many years ago. I had to take this many times because I had lots of tummy problems (unknown celiac probably), it works.

Glad to hear you gals having fun out of a burping contest. I should have used it on myself, tummy not right but stopped taking an enzyme maybe I don't need.Think I will have a better day!! :) Wish that for ALL of you. Judy, you look so nice and someone else (floridian celia)// too. Way to go girls.

thank you all for your response.

I tend not to list everyone's name, because I know I will leave someone out. (shoot, I was the last to be picked for the basketball team - deep seeded life long issues with that B) )

I tried the gas X and it seemed to do well, I can breath tonight. If I tried the baking soda, which I am sure would work, I think I would burp with every thing else in my stomach. I'll save that for emergencies. The other suggestion, rolling on the floor, Karen, is that with or without an altoid in your mouth. B) .....hey, I'm willing to try anything if it works.

Anyway, I recieved alot of good suggestions as I hope others have.

lindalee, there is always so many things that controll our life. We're ready to get out from under those stresses. I think that this is a good change. We are actually interviewing realitors to list our house. How cool is that. Too bad, you are not here, I'd pass it on to you........any new recruits for the "Hawk"?

Lisa with gas x. (worked pretty darn good)............NOW, ON TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, sheeese.

Sorry to hijack the belching thread to address your downsizing. We decided Dec. of 2004 to go smaller. We had only been living in my dream home for two and a half years at that time. But, I was not recovering the way we had thought and I just did not want to worry about the next dust storm hitting the pool and spa. I did not want to worry about getting someone to do the landscaping maintance. In other words I wanted less worries. So, we bought a townhouse and the builder allowed us to customize. It was the best decision we made. I also found out that we just did not need all that "STUFF". I used to sit with pen and paper at hand and stare at cupboards, tops of cabinets, etc. I would then mark things to keep and things to donate to charity (garage sale, etc). The things "to not keep" list, I would recheck in a couple of days and see if I still did not want ithe item. I sold all of my Lladro's (except 2) on eBay. I thought I could not do without them. I don't miss them at all. I kept the two that were the most important to me. It is so liberating to downsize. Good luck and enjoy it. Big is not always better.

Yes babe, you are so right.

I'm almost 52 and Jim is 67. The girl are out of the house. It is time to clarify our lives. What comes next we want to enjoy. Sometimes "stuff" just over-whelms you. Life is not about "stuff", it's what you do in your life. So a sized-down house in a good place is a good thing.

It just is very frustrating. Jim worked for the airlines for 31 year, and they took a petition to the courts and the courts arbitarily ruled to dismiss the enuity that was contracted to the pilots, to "save the airline". What a crock of spinach. The execs walked away with 33Mil. each.

I'll stop there . I want to sleep well tonight.

It literally blows my mind what these "execs" get away with....... :angry:

Lisa, my two cents: Smart move. Downsize, free up more to enjoy life! We only go around once!

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
