Normal: We usually swallow some air when we eat/drink. It's normal for it to be there. We get rid of it by moving it on (into the small intestine) or burping it back up! risks: none other than gas pains.

Mayo Clinic info:: Bloating, burping and passing gas are natural and are usually caused by swallowed air or the breakdown of food through digestion. Check out this website for more info: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/gas-and-gas-pains/dg00014.
