like eating heaps of mentos an then drinkin diet coke...

 

chemical reactions like that.. that can create alot of pressure and is natural/plausible/realistic...

 

unlike the stupid dynamite remark.

Well seeing as how the stomach is not really a sealed container, it would be extremely difficult to build up any pressure at all. It doesn't have to be that strong.

I'm still not sure about what you're asking. The stomach has sphincters at both openings--cardiac sphincter (also called lower esophageal sphincter), and the pyloric sphincter which serve as "one way valves". These can allow some pressure to build up (which is why you burp).
