Salsa

In many cultures, burping or belching is taken as a compliment. It indicates that the person enjoyed the food and the chef’s cooking was appreciated. Excessive burping is nothing but the gas coming out from the stomach via the mouth. It is a normal process and usually it is not considered serious or harmful. However, if a person keeps burping right through the day for no reason at all, it can become highly embarrassing.

The belching and gas was bad enough that no antacid helped. I would sometimes belch up bile or stomach acid and I can testify that you will NEVER forget the nasty taste of bile once you have experienced it and you will do just about anything that sounds even remotely plausible to prevent it from happening again.

The gas that built up after eating usually felt like someone was trying to inflate a beach ball in my stomach and it often felt like it was getting worse with every belch.
