    Burp - I just can’t do it. Also whistle or roll my Rs

      I can’t burp either. Turns out my mom can’t. I wonder if it’s a genetic disability. Seriously, that may sound ridiculous but sometimes it’s really inconvenient!

        Hi fellow no-burper! Everybody else in my family can burp, but maybe I just lost the recessive gene lottery? I totally agree, it’s one of those things that sounds like a small issue but really impacts my life sometimes.

      That’s curious. Can you throw up though? What happens when you eat something that doesn’t agree with you and there is gas build up? Do you have a colic like horses (who can’t burb or throw up) do?

      I have so many questions.

        Lol I can throw up, but it’s super rare. Last time was when I had food poisoning about a year ago. I get nauseous sometimes but it usually passes. Just looked up horse colic and that sounds intense! Luckily it doesn’t cause me too much trouble other than bloating. I also stay away from carbonated drinks and straws to reduce the air I swallow.

        Yep! I try to stay away from carbonated drinks or let most of the bubbles fizz out before drinking. Otherwise it can actually get painful!
