Onions make me burp and I can’t stop them?

[Anonymous]

sorry if this is a gross one, just skip it if it disturbs you. i used to think i was unable to burp. there is an actual condition for inability to burp. i never burped until i turned 22. sometimes i felt something small stuck in my chest but it always turned into a gurgle or hiccup and went away. maybe i did have that condition and i don’t anymore, i’m not sure. now, here’s the problem: the only thing that makes me burp is onions, especially spring onions and maybe it’s because i’ve gained this ability recently or maybe this is how it’s supposed to be but i can’t feel the burp coming. it causes me to burp in inappropriate situations and unlike the small things i used to get stuck in my chest, these are quite big. i get really embarrassed when it happens. is there a way of feeling the burp come up and stopping it?

You can keep your mouth closed and muffle your belches to some extent. Everyone will still hear you burp, but it’s more socially acceptable to do it that way and nobody will judge you. Whenever I try to hold in my burps it makes me pass huge, gross farts later in the day so I find it’s better to just burp into my fist or belch with a closed mouth and say excuse me.

The only thing you can do, baring GENUINE medical advice (I think there is an operation you can have to fix it) is to make sure you only eat onions when you know you aren't going to be in a position whereby it would be unacceptable to burp loudly.

They do cause gas. Eat fewer onions and try different type.

Don’t eat them for a while and see what happens 2 months from now
