Swallowing Your Own Burp

Is it healthy to swallow your own burp? What if you swallow someone else's burp?

 

Often while I eat I take a mouthful of water and while the water is in my mouth I burp. The gas enters the mouth from the throat and I assume the gas mixes with the water. If I open my mouth, would the gas escape through the water? Whenever this happens I never feel any bubbling sensation in the water nor do I feel any burp escaping, suggesting that the gas may be trapped underneath the water. I have no choice but to swallow the water with my burp trapped in this water. I could spit the water out but I often don't want to waste water or I don't have anywhere to spit it out.

I think burbs are just a by product of food having air gaps in them and maybe a little bit from digestion/ reactions with your stomach acid. I shouldnt worry about swallowing burbs they propoably wont do anything bad. I think in teh example you gave, the burb may have escaped through your nose, that happens to me sometimes.

Swallowing someone else's burp?

 

What the hell is the matter with you?

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking it was strange.

Often when I shallow my burps, I would force myself to shallow it, and when that happens, your throat will get hurt. It'll feel like flame for a few seconds, so I had to drink water to smooth it down. :P

i get that felling sometimes but i think that the burp just has a slight acid coating or something.

but how the hell would you swallow someone elses burp??

Making out??? CPR??? the possabilities are endfull(antontym of endless??)

Nice. I love it.

the burp was in your stomach to begin with. It cannot harm you...it finds its way out sooner or later.

Well the acidity of throw up can damage your esaphogus if it is done too much but it is a liquid. It doesn't seems that burps would have any effect.
