Question

I swallow air, but how do I make it come back up?

Community Answer

It will probably come back up after awhile. Standing up and sitting down quickly can help, also lightly pushing your stomach against something such as a chair or counter might do the trick.

Question

Is water a good beverage to help me burp on demand? How do I swallow water and air together?

Community Answer

I think water works better than soda if you want smooth but loud burps, because soda makes them airy or bubbly. Grab a water bottle and stand or sit with a straight back. Try inhaling down your throat like you were swallowing air, and pinching your nose. Hold for a second until you almost need to exhale. Then take your water and drink. You'll burp almost immediately.

Question

When I swallow the air comes out again; it's like I'm breathing trough my mouth. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Community Answer

Specifically, you have to breathe in and keep the air inside your mouth as a sort of bubble. Your cheeks should be puffed out. Then, swallow as if you were swallowing water.

Question

I've tried everything and I'm starting to give up hope. Is there any way to make "swallowing air" easier or a way to explain it easier because all the air keeps coming out?

Community Answer

If you can’t swallow air very easily, then take a big breath and drink a small sip of water or something you like. It should work.

Question

What should I do if I tried everything, but I still can't?

Spare Account

Community Answer

Instead of just swallowing air through your mouth, breathe in through your throat. If it makes a kinda churning noise in your stomach, try to burp.

I tried it with water and it works and is even louder if you swallow air before. How can I make kind of a bubbly burp?

Just drink some water and swallow it and while its travelling down your throat breathe in and let it out. It will take some practice.

I just can't do it. I can hold my nose and get air and puff out my cheeks, but I don't get how to let it out. Do you just open your mouth or to you have to push or what?

Community Answer

Try pushing with your throat. Then, keep your mouth closed, swallow a bit of water and open your mouth as you do. A burp on command!

Question

Would it be possible to swallow air out of a balloon? If so, how would I do it?

Community Answer

Blow up the balloon but don't tie it. Hold the entrance of the balloon to your mouth. Lightly squeeze the balloon and swallow as if you were drinking water.

Question

When I swallow air, it just stays in my stomach and doesn't come up. How can I make it come up on demand?

Community Answer

Try pushing it up with your throat, or move your neck back and forth as you push it. Also, you might not be swallowing it properly.

Question

Do I still need to drink a beverage to burp on demand after I get good at it?

Community Answer

It depends on how much gas is already in your stomach, but you'll need less air the better you get at it.

Question

How do I make a bubble in my throat and let out a burp?

Community Answer

Pretend you're swallowing a bubble. It's like gulping with your mouth closed, but with nothing in your mouth. Then push it out to make the actual sound.

Question

What do I do if I can't seem to push the air back out to burp?

Community Answer

Push lightly on your stomach or move your head around gently then just sit still and try forcing it up through your throat. I couldn't do it to start with, but I just preserved and it came out with so much force and so long and loud.

Question

Is there an easier option?

Community Answer

Hold your nose, breath in through your mouth without allowing the air to fully enter your lungs, close your mouth and puff out your cheeks, then swallow the air. Open your mouth and push the air back out as a burp.

Not by itself, but drinking too much soda can be. Try not to drink more than two or three servings of soda a day.

I swallow air and it comes back up into my nose. How do I solve this problem?

Pinch your nose shut so the air won't come out of it, and make sure your mouth is closed when you swallow the air to make things easier.

Question

What do I do if I can't push out the air when I want to burp?

Community Answer

Wait a few seconds and try again. The air will come out eventually. You don't want to try to force it, as you might end up vomiting.

Question

Should a burp make a sound when I swallow it?

Community Answer

The gulping sound is just air going down your throat. It will make the REAL noise when it comes back up or out.

Question

Is there a way to swallow air easier when burping on demand?

Community Answer

Start by holding a cup of water, put your lips on the side of the cup farthest from you and bend over before you start drinking. It makes you swallow air! And then when you stand straight again it can help you to burp
