@dona46 is there any way to figure out if you are swallowing air when you sleep? I don't really know how you would do this. @colleenyoung, any thoughts? We've covered the common answers (gas producing foods, carbonated beverages).

Gas is a problem in the daytime also. I do not think I swallow air while asleep. I think the gas builds up during the day and the last of it is released shortly after laying down. It's all gone by midnight.
