This may sound bizarre upon first glance, but i am unable to vollentarily burp at will like alot of people. I have burpped before, unexpectantly over the years but unexpected burps rarely happen (approx once a year).
I know of other people who are unable to burp, and ive always wondered if there is a way to train your body to burp...
So does anyone have an answer?

Im not doing it just so i can burp at people for childish reasons, it just bugs me when im drinking fizzy drinks, and im unable to burp. I would just like to know how to do it for a health point of view, although im not 100% sure how effective burping is at relieving gas.

I learnt how to burp on command from an old American show called Kate & Allie (no idea why I remember that). Anyway, you need to take a deep breath, then swallow. Hey presto, burping fun for all the family!
It might take a few goes, and you may gag slightly, but soon you'll be burping on command like there's no tomorrow.

Take a big swallow of air. It will make you have a very sudden burp. Thats really all a burp is; an amout of air that has been swallowed. Try it. You will find out that I am right.

try swallowing some of your saliva while your mouth is closed then open your mouth, an "agh" (burp) should come out :p
that technique has been effective when i was a child. :)

Yes, it does sound bizarre upon first... second and third glance. There are other hobbies that don't involve the risk of vomiting on your friends.

Do not do it else you may end up with an Hiatus Hernia. Anyway it's very childish, I know I used to be a child once. lol

Why on earth would you want to burp when you don't need to...ask somebody to throw you over their shoulder and rub/pat your back..that should do it
