  • Summary

  • 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 acid reflux, ulcers, gallstones, or SIBO – small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I frequently see patients who have been put on acid blockers 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.
