what helps settle your stomach when you can't quit burping
Saltines were made with baking soda- which, when mixed with water is an upset stomach remedy. People also thought the dry cracker would absorb excess acid, which it does in a manner of speaking, although mostly what happens is it becomes part of the chyme which is all acidic anyway. 7-Up is carbonated- another burp-inducer. Together, these two can seem to assist the body releasing excess gas from the stomach. It works after a fashion, but mostly what you are getting is a placebo effect- and that's just fine and dandy- whatever works, works.
