Drinking carbonated drinks such as beer, soft drinks or champagne can also cause burps. If belching is combined with heartburn, dyspepsia or nausea, than hiatal hernia or peptic ulcer may be the real cause. A hiatal hernia is the protrusion of the upper part of the stomach into the thorax, through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm. An X-ray would diagnose the hiatal hernia, while upper GI endoscopy can help in the diagnostics of a peptic ulcer.
Benjamin Franklin was born in a small house on Milk Street in Boston, next to the Old South Church, on January 6, 1706. He was the youngest son of five generations of youngest sons. He had eleven living brothers and sisters. His father, Josiah Franklin, made soap and candles for a living.
Benjamin Franklin was only married once to a woman named Deborah Read. The circumstances surrounding the marriage of Benjamin Franklin are quite interesting. Franklin knew Read from a very early age. At the age of 17, Franklin was boarding in the Read home and fell in love with the 15 year old Deborah. He proposed to her. Her father was deceased and Deborah's mother told him that he could not marry her daughter.
