The symptoms are acid reflux, bloat, abdominal discomfort, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, anxiety and panic attacks, trouble swallowing, hoarseness - to list just a few. There are up to 20.

You can see that these symptoms cover many organ systems of your body: heart, lungs, stomach, digestion, and brain. It's no wonder that what you receive from specialists, who are not communicating with one another, is a palliative drug that can improve your symptoms but does not address the root cause.

And, unfortunately, in the case of PPIs and psychiatric medication, is known to worsen the root cause through its effect on your microbiome.

It's not that your doctors don't care; they are constrained by our medical model to make a diagnosis and then provide the appropriate care, typically a drug, that is approved. 

What the research below does confirm is that the root cause of the problem involves physical/mechanical changes within the digestive tract along with neurological effects (primarily the vagus nerve) which explain what people suffering with this syndrome experience.

How to fix it? One has to establish the causative agents that have created the increased inta-abdominal pressure within the body. Finding a clinician who understands the full depth and breadth of these interactions and how to identify the "why" can really open the door to improvement.
