Hi Sheryl,
So sorry to hear about your discomfort. 
Don't know what you're drinking out of currently, but I use a toddler sippy cup. I've read that you should NEVER use a straw and some have good luck with sports bottles. I just know I CAN'T do anything but sip with my cup and I take it everywhere and get funny looks but don't really care. I've been getting at least 70 oz of water everyday from day one and know it's cuz of my sippy cup! 
(If you choose to try a sippy cup, get the Gerber one with the silicone nozzle, remove the baffle in the nozzle and cut off the holes. This makes it so you don't have to suck so hard!)
Anyway, hope you get some relief soon! I get that feeling when I take meds cuz I have to drink more water than usual, throw my head back and pray they go down. Then burp, burp, burp. It hurts and I hate it so know what you mean!
I do this upchop thing that helps (or at least mentally it does.) Just hold your hand out strait, palm up, and hit youself with the side of your hand right at your breast bone. This usually makes me burp and I feel better after about 2-3 burps. I know it sounds crazy but give it a try. When my daughter-in-law told me, I thought she was nuts but it works for some reason. Let me know if it works for you! 
Later,
Nancy
