I never burp---never

38-female I LITERALLY have never burped, at 36 started with many gastro situations, ultimatley had gallbladder removed, with dvt (blood clot to follow ) in ICU for 10 days with elevated liver. I have pain still, but never burp, could that be wrong. Everyone belches-right?

I also cannot burp (33 year old female). I grew up with a phopia of vomiting and though I've gotten over that, I still can't burp. When there's air in my esophagus I guess I just swallow it. I too have gurgling in my throat at times, mostly after drinking carbonated beverages. I'm not too concerned about it as everthing seems to work just fine! I do think I get the hiccups more often than most, but who knows if that's related:)

My daughter has never burped either.  She is now 14yrs. old and when she amazingly let one loose on the airplane when she was 7, we were in shock for quite some time.  She has other medical issues, but none related to her digestive system.  It is very weird and I'm wondering if it is related to other unknown medical conditions.  It is strange to hear that others are going through the same thing too.

Im 19 and have 2 children of my own, i have never burped either, ever, and iv not had any problems with anything healthwise, i do make funny noises at night when im laid down for some reason, weather thats anything to do with it im not sure lol

Dear KellieX,
First off, "iv" is spelled "I've" (notice the apostrophe and the additional "e") and "weather" should have actually been "whether", unless your burps are acutally affected by the weather. Furthermore, you may have wanted to phrase the part about when you are laid down differently, it makes it seem as though you only make funny noises when you are laid down by someone but only when it's for "some reason", so if you had laid down yourself, normally you wouldn't make funny noises. Good luck with your two kids.
Love,
Burpless

Follow-up to my last comment. Phrase should have actually been in the past tense - "phrased"
My Apologies,
Burpless

Please do not try and act like a smart-*** and correct everyone's spelling. You're not smart and you're helping nobody. There's people here trying to post about serious problems with themselves, of which I also have, and you seem to think that posting spelling corrections is going to help? If they wanted to fix their spelling they'd be on a language forum, not MedHelp. Although it can sometimes be frustrating, not everyone likes to post with correct spelling and punctuation, so get used to that and stick to the topic.

I think you meant to say "actually."  Also, your second sentence is a run-on and your third is only a sentence fragment.  Consider using proper spelling and grammar when correcting someone else's.
