I know how stupid that sounds but about 10 minutes into my work out I begin to belch constantly...and occasionally, like today I get so much indigestion gas and heartburn that it's terribly painful.
The ability to belch is almost universal. Belching, also known as burping, is the act of expelling gas from the stomach out through the mouth. The usual cause of belching is a distended (inflated) stomach caused by swallowed air. The distention of the stomach causes abdominal discomfort, and the belching expels the air and relieves the discomfort. The common reasons for swallowing large amounts of air (aerophagia) are gulping food or drink too rapidly, anxiety, and carbonated beverages. People are often unaware that they are swallowing air. "Burping" infants during bottle or breast feeding is important in order to expel air in the stomach that has been swallowed with the formula or milk.
Excessive air in the stomach is not the only cause of belching. For some people, belching becomes a habit and does not reflect the amount of air in their stomachs. For others, belching is a response to any type of abdominal discomfort and not just to discomfort due to increased gas. Everyone knows that when they have mild abdominal discomfort, belching often relieves the problem. This is because excessive air in the stomach is often the cause of mild abdominal discomfort. As a result, people belch whenever mild abdominal discomfort is felt-whatever the cause.
If the belching is happening often enough, and is annoying enough to cause concern, you wight well want to see a gastroenterologist.

I used to have the same problem.
I was taking air into my stomach.
Apparently my breathing techniques during lifting were not good.
mmm Something to do with your breathing brother bear. Gulping air into your stomach. Try breathing through your nose.

thats what I was thinking, but because of vocal and martial arts training I'm very wawre of that and generally make a concerted effort to inhale through my nose and exhale through my mouth. I'm thinking that has something to do with it though. I have an email friend who used to own a Golds gym in Ontario and I'm going to ask .
