Question 3

why am i having very bad tasting acid burps?

Accepted Answer

GERD: This sounds like gastric reflux into your esophagus,   it can be from an incompetent sphincter into the stomach but can also be related to diet with late eating, spicy foods and over eating.  You might consider adding an over the counter acid blocker like Omeprazole but if this is persistent check with your GI doctor for better control as chronic acid in the esophagus can be dangerous.

Question 9

why do i never burp?

Accepted Answer

Burp: For instance if you drink a carbonated soda the gas has three options: 
1. To out the mouth 
2. Absorbed into the lining of the GI tract which will then be processed by the lungs
3. Out your backside
suspect either the gas is escaping out your mouth during the act of breathing or via options 2 or 3.
