Belching Loudly🤦‍♀️

I simply wouldn’t have him in the house until he agreed not to do it.

My MiL used to do that after a meal followed by 'Eeeh that's better'. I was a bit shocked initially but learnt to ignore it. She had all sorts of problems so I never did find out why she did it.

Talk to him

Buy him Deflatine from Boots and ask him to take them before dinner as it will stop him feeling uncomfortable with his win problem.

Notgran that’s horrible
Just tell him in a kind way Dad or whatever you call him can you not do that it’s not good in front of the kids or you frighten the dog or whatever reason you want to give
But really if he’s your in law it should be his son having a quiet word

I regard someone coming to a relatives home and him considering that belching loudly and often is acceptable, not excusing themself or offering an explanation thereby making the relatives uncomfortable is horrid. Who does that, or have I been living in a strange world where loud belching is not considered acceptable but everywhere else it is?

I used to hate going to my in-laws for dinner, because MIL, FIL, and SIL all used to belch and fart. Dirty gits.

Is this something new? I mean, I assume your FIL visited you formerly while his wife was alive.

I would try the tactful approach first and ask him if there are any foods he finds hard to digest and you are wondering whether something you serve, or whatever you fry food in is causing him to belch so much after eating.

If it is indigestion pure and simple, you should be able to avoid whatever causes it if you know what that is.

Do you and your husband eat faster than your FIL is accustomed to doing? Trying to keep up with fast eaters could well cause belching. So could ill-fitting dentures.

If he says something like, oh I always belch after meals, then you will either have to put up with it, or say that you would prefer him to leave the table before doing so.

GERD causes this. He can’t help it.
Suggest omeprazole from the pharmacist?

He could have a stomach problem so may have a problem.
Not much you can really do without embarrassing him.
He doesn’t have flatulence that’s the other end which could be worse

Stop inviting him. Ignorant pig.

Perhaps he has stomach problems.

A packet of peppermint lozenges or Rennie's or similar offered in a very kind and understanding voice "try these, I'm sorry my dinner's given you flatulence". Maybe he's thinking its a complement like my DH did when we first married.
I soon told him it wasn't, we weren't in Arabia.
