Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I've been doing a lot of reading and research, and keep turning up information that tells me that flatulance (digestive gas) is a result of fermentation. Fair enough. But why do I burp within moments of eating a meal of fruit? Surely it hasn't had time to ferment yet? Caron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Couldn't it also just be from swallowing air while eating? The small bits of air rise and the bubble comes out. I see it a lot with my son who always burps a ton after drinking everything, especially water. (he's 2) within a minute there's a huge burp.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 kinds of digestive gas 1. From fermentation, production of alcohol when we turn our digestive tube into a still through poor food choices and/or poor food combining. 2. From rotting proteins, when they sit in us too long. Occurs when we consume too much protein, the wrong kind of protein, protein in poor food combinations, etc. This is the smelly stuff. Burping, moving up, not down, obviously of a different nature. Feel what you are burping, very acidic, right? That's where the idiotic diagnosis called " acid reflux " comes from. In all likelihood, not enough time between meals, your stomach is still holding your last meal, and/or you are eating WAY too much acid fruit. Does this happen, for example, when you eat bananas on an empty stomach? If yes, then write back, there is more to explore. If no, learn food combining.

If yes, then write back, there is more to explore. If no, learn food combining. Am working on the food combining, but yes, it does happen with bananas (or dates) on an empty stomach. I usually have sweet fruits (bananas and dates are all we can get at the moment) until lunch, then either keep going with them, or have kiwifruit or apple or mandarines from then on. The burping usually happens more in the morning. (Burping after a cooked meal I put down to the poor foods I'm eating, and accept that it's one of the consequences of my choice to eat it) Caron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Great question! I think for me if I rush to eat then there's more air. Slower seems to help for me.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Are you in a position to fast for 36 hours or so, say from Friday evening until Sunday morning, something like that?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Caron, honestly, we're at the point where I cannot go forward using email alone. Too much missing information, and WAY too much effort in the communication, at least for my preference. You are asking here for personal coaching, not for information of general interest.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Nice point. An easy way to examine this question, Caron, is to notice whether the burps seem acidic. If yes, then Catherine, no. If no, then Catherine, perhaps.
