Strange Throat Noises/Inability to burp

[16088]

I've put this under throat disorders but I honestly have no idea what this is. I have never burped, at least never in my adolescent and adult life. I've asked my parents about when I was a baby but they couldn't give me a definite answer. Anyway, instead of burping, I get these gurgling, growling noises in my chest and throat. I can't stop them, quiet them, or avoid them (by not eating certain foods, etc...). I have searched for similar cases but have not found any.

I am hoping someone can help me or at the very least, someone is somewhat familiar with this situation. Thank you for your time.

Btw, I am 20 years old, female, caucasian. No known illnesses or allergies.

Thank god I found other people who have this problem. I only started getting this a few years ago, maybe when I was 15 but I've never been able to burp as well. I always played it off as nothing and my friends thought I was so weird for not being able to, I'm now 21 and the gurgling has gotten to an all-time annoying level, so much so that I cant sleep at night and have to just wait for it to go away. I was diagnosed with acid reflux but i rarely, if ever, have symptoms of it, I take all the meds for it and have tried all the home remedies but it's not acid reflux I'm trying to cure, I'm just  misinformed. I now know what it is and am starting the Omeprazole today to try and stop it for good. I did notice that when i cut carbs out, it stopped for a bit, ive since started eating them again and it's come back. Hope this stuff works because it's unbelievably annoying in class or with people. Good luck to everyone.

Ive also had this problem for years! Im 27 years old. When I eat a little more in one sitting or drink alcohol it gets pretty bad. Theres a strange as I would call it a "light roar" that comes up through my throat. I also never burp, only about once or twice a year unexpectedly because of a hiccup. Everyone thinks Im nuts and Im not "relaxing" when I try to burp! Lol. IVe had stomach problems all my life too with bloating and such. Had my gallbladder out recently which helped but Im still having these problems! Anyone have an answer? My docs just tell me acid reflux but the meds didnt work..

This is a very brief article on a problem that maybe behind many of your inabilities to burp and sensations of 'stuck' air in your stomach.

If you discuss it with a specialist doctor then they can test you for it and if necessary there is a surgery to fix the issue.

I've had this problems since middle school! The worst is when the class was silent and all you could hear was my stomach, classmates would laugh and I would try to hold my breath to make it stop but that made it worse.

It happens if I eat with somebody, and talk at the same time. I think it's because if you eat and speak, you ingest more air, therefore you need to burp more. I CAN burp but I'm terribly embarrassed to burp if someone's around so the air gets stuck and then, if I go to the restroom to try and burp, I can't anymore.

Situation 1. If I'm at a party when all of that happens and I have to dance, it gets horribly painful. I start to hiccup, I feel like there's a balloon in my stomach.

To make it stop, I need to be ALONE, in bed, on my left side and it only takes like 15 minutes until I can burp and then it's all ok.

Situadion 2. If I sit down and eat and talk to people, I get the sounds, not too much pain but I get horribly bloated, so bloated that even if I sit on the toilet for 2 hours I can't do anything.

I was first diagnosed with Gastritis, then IBS but I don't have the typical symptoms of either of those, no stomach lesions, no spastic colon, nothing !!

Only God (or whoever you believe in) knows what it is.

My solution is to avoid eating with people, which is sad. If I do eat, I explain my situation and I try not to drink anything, and eat a small portion of food.

If I have to go on a date / party / dinner, I eat at home, then I go and basically pretend to eat.

Wish I had a better plan.
