How come we don’t breathe in our stomach gases when we inhale?

This question is most likely just due to a misunderstanding the human body, but how come when my lungs expand, and air rushes in to fill the void, I only feel the suction above my trachea? There’s air at the same pressure below my trachea opening, isn’t there? And there’s gases that are not air inside my stomach, right? Someone set me straight.

Same reason why you can’t swallow and breath at the same time… when your trachea opens your esophagus closes, and vice-versa.
