May be physiological: Belch is triggered by pressure within stomach, and you may be better able to exert belly pressure when not back-constrained. The ? is why you would need to belch, if frequent, and whether there is delayed stomach emptying or underlying reflux (GERD). Consider GI doc if red flags e.g. nausea, weight loss, anemia, vomit, pain, inability to swallow. Happy to consult further. Tried simethicone?
