I was a part of the noburp community on the old site. In the last decade it’s been used to cure that. The body metabolizes it after about 6 months, but having that assistance often helps build the muscle memory and people can usually burp after that. I personally had it done twice and can still do small burps at last, and my daughter (toddler, born very prematurely) had it done at the beginning of the year. Her physical medicine doctor mentioned it as a possibility, and when I told him about the burping thing he basically equated Botox in the medical community with Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding
excessive flatulence (it’s gotta come out somewhere),
bloating comparable with pregnancy (usually equivalent to what you’d see after several months in, but occasionally people look full term!)
Weird gurgling noises in the throat
There are also things like hiccups, hypersalivation, constipation, and things like that that are common but not guaranteed.
My daughter has been pretty underweight for a while. I realized she’s had massive farts, and a bit of a big belly given the rest of her relatively small size. She was super hard to burp as an infant (that varies a lot in adults with the condition) and it pretty much stopped after a while. Basically the bloat kills the appetite.

What’s the symptoms/consequences of not being able to burp?
The main ones you see almost universally are

It was strange finding out that other people had the same issue
I would strongly suggest getting the treatment if you can! It’s a super simple procedure.
Luckily mine is only semi no burp; I can force it out with some effort. My theory is it’s because I played a wind instrument.
