    Try something like GasX. a chewable tablet BEFORE your meals. That should loosen that trapped gas.

      I literally can't burp haven't be able to since over 30 years the only way is to gag myself and it's forced up like an explosion. Thought my scope would shed some light but seems not. The only way is to get down on my hand and knees or lay on left side and fart but sometimes that doesn't work. I need some answers please.
