Has anyone else never burped?!

Has anyone else never burped?!
I guess it seems odd when I think about it but have only ever "burped" at the start of throwing up.. never just as a normal routine daily thing (not even a silent one).

Is that weird/normal? Any health implications?

I used to be like you OP, until I fell pregnant. I’ve never been the same since, can burp for England now!

No burping here. I have done it once or twice involuntary but rare and far between.
I don’t fart either. I did one public ally in school assembly 40 years ago but I guess that gave me self control.
I have done the odd fanny fart but lost weight and did my exercises so that’s resolved too.

Yes same here, I just can't burp! The other end though...

foxyknoxy30 · 04/05/2019 19:40

Nope I don't either and I can't make myself either but my wind comes out the other end 😂😂

I've never been able to burp - nobody in my family can. It never caused me any problems until I was pregnant, gassy, and in desperate need of a massive belch. I was like one of those sheep who eat the wrong plant, blow up like a balloon, and have to be pierced with a needle to stop them exploding.

I occasionally spontaneously burp after a fizzy drink but I am unable to make myself burp. I rarely have gut problems but do fart a lot Grin

Me too and people have tried to teach me, but only ended up making me sick. Apparently even as a baby I didn't, but my aunt was convinced my mum just wasn't burping me properlyAngry it's ok to teach her a lesson I threw up all down her back

Slightly different, but my dad claims he's never vomited in his life (apart from possibly as a baby, obviously). He gets nauseous, but can't do anything about it.

Initially I was a bit jealous of him, but actually it's really horrible to not be able to be sick when you need to be.

ShowOfHands · 04/05/2019 20:10

Me too. Never burped in my life.

MrsTaytodarling · 04/05/2019 20:18

Never burped! I've found my people..Grin. Fart loads though

QueenOfPain There’s nothing more satisfying than rolling over in bed onto my tummy to settle down to sleep and just having a big satisfying burp, and then snuggling my face into the pillow and nodding straight off.

I don’t know why but this really made me laugh. It’s the kind of thing my dog does, you’re just missing the ear scratching with your hind leg 🤣

Harrison376 · 04/05/2019 21:33

Wtf have I just typed? My dog’s never burped in his life! Can dogs even burp?!

IDontMindAnythingWillDo · 04/05/2019 21:33

Omg me!!!! DH can burp on demand but I have never, ever burped unless I was about to throw up.

I can, however, fart for England.

Patagonian · 04/05/2019 21:44

DS never burps. Never winded him as a baby.

DaisyDreaming · 04/05/2019 21:47

I’m the other way, I burp and very rarely ever fart!

DareDevil223 · 04/05/2019 22:38

I only do silent and occasional burps, I don't fart much either, I'm obviously not a very windy person. DP more than makes up for me though Grin

Crunchymum · 04/05/2019 23:08

Another non burping farter here.

My gas has it's preferred exit Grin

yellowsun · 04/05/2019 23:22

Me too! I do one or two a year randomly but can’t control them. Apparently it’s a thing and Botox can help...www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/man-who-couldnt-burp-34-14783741.amp

dalmatianmad · 05/05/2019 05:12

I thought I was the only person in the world that has never burped!

I fart for England....

PiggyPlumPie · 05/05/2019 05:33

I couldn't until I had kids - it seems s common theme!

I love burping now having been denied the pleasure for so long. My kids rarely burp. It is a momentous occasion when one does! Grin
