The Top 4 Symptoms of R-CPD (a.k.a. Inability to burp, no-burp)

Inability to belch or “burp” (Also known as Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction, or R-CPD for short) occurs when the upper esophageal sphincter (cricopharyngeus muscle) loses its ability to relax in order to release the “bubble” of air.

I just might have it. I haven’t been able to burp since I was 4. I just don’t know what to do about it.

I can't burp since i was a kid, whenever my family went out to eat, I just eat a little cuz whenever I'm full it's hard for me to breathe and that gurgling noise annoys me..

How can I get help with this? I have all the symptoms as well as an inability to vomit, which became a phobia. I’ve even had a hysterectomy because my doctor thought that the extreme bloating that I have was a result of problems with my reproductive system. That did not stop all the bloating and pain. I have never been able to burp, I have extreme gas, and I’ve always had the gurgling noises. I have been fasting for days at a time to avoid all these things. (I do try to eat very small thing during fasts) Now I’m having blood sugar issues do to that fasting. And through all of this in my 42 years, no one has ever brought RCPD to my attention. So can you please tell me how I can get help?

Whenever I search too much on my symptoms I get many fifferent conditions similar to my symptoms, like rn I think I got GERD, dysphasia, R-CPD, and esophageal cancer smh.

Hi, I'm 14 and I have this condition, I have every symptom. Do you know if, given my age, I can have anything done to help it or do I have to be an adult? It's really affecting my life

In fact, I'm able to burp when I force it. I have those symptoms since the last 2 yrs. I've passed all exams for it. Thought it was SIBO, then took meds for stomach... nothing. It's really frustrating to not find what it is.
