I realise that this is an unconventional discussion topic, but I think it warrants a post here.
Has anybody else noticed that certain types of medicine can have a direct effect on burps - either in a good or bad way?
As a child, I sometimes took cough syrup that tasted a bit like toffee. Burping after taking it was always a rather enjoyable experience.
I’ve taken aniseed flavoured antacids (in liquid form) as an adult, and that has the opposite effect. They are effective, but the taste of burped-up aniseed flavour combined with the taste of food is not pleasant.
The same can be said for flaxseed oil. In high school, I took three large spoonfuls of it every morning after breakfast to encourage healthy hair, skin, and nail growth. The texture of it is horrible, and so is burping when your stomach is full of thick, greasy liquid. I learned not to burp after taking it - I would do my best to hold it in - and more often than not I’d end up with a bad tummy ache as a result. Not much fun at all.
Then there’s fish oil capsules. Many of us know these awful inventions. They’re seemingly innocuous until after you’ve swallowed them. Wait a short time and then all of a sudden…uuuurp…and you can imagine the rest. Yuck. Fish burps are the worst.
Does anybody else have any experiences with medicine? I’m very intrigued to find out!
had me wishing for a solid second that I couldn’t burp. Prozac burps are kind of sweet, though
