In this episode we dive into the causes and treatment for aerophagia - one of the most unrecognized factors behind burping and bloating. Aerophagia is a condition where people swallow large amounts of air unintentionally and without realizing it. It’s often misdiagnosed as <a href="https://gutbliss.com/tag/reflux/">acid reflux</a>, ulcers, <a href="https://gutbliss.com/tag/gallbladder/">gallstones</a>, or <a href="https://gutbliss.com/tag/sibo/">SIBO</a> – small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I frequently see patients who have been put on <a href="https://gutbliss.com/tag/ppis/">acid blockers</a> or treated for ulcers that they don't have, or sometimes even had their gallbladder removed, and they're still not better. And that's because their aerophagia has not been diagnosed. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2310607/open_sms">We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!</a>Thank you for being a part of our community!
