Anybody have excessive burping on the bike during a 70.3?

On my last few half ironman's I've had pretty bad burping on the bike and someone suggested it was all the air from my aero hydration setup.
At the moment I'm using a PD HC and Shiv fueselage bladder system as well.
I'm well adapted to my nutrition mix both in training and racing so I don't think its that any suggestions or fixes appreciated.

I have a habit of swallowing a lot of air during the swim, which shows up on the bike as burps and farts. Popping a gas-x tab at the start of the bike helps a bit.

You could also be gulping down air when you drink, as others have suggested.

Do you ever have the problem in training, and if so do you ride hard immediately after swimming hard?
