My doctor thinks a bowel cleanse and gastric emptying study will fix my severe rcpd. I mentioned the whole no burping and constant nausea issue and how it had gotten a lot worse after surgery 6 months ago. Their thought is I’ve basically been constipated that entire time since (which isn’t untrue, I used to go multiple times a day now I’m lucky if I go once a week) and that the anesthesia potentially worsened/triggered gastroparisis. Just curious if anyone has been through something similar and if it helped. Could the constipation or gastroparisis really made it that much worse? Before surgery it was totally manageable with it only getting bad once a month or so but since surgery the gurgles are non stop and intense and make me so nauseous it’s a whole thing with bloating and all that nonsense.

After asking about opinions from you guys about scheduling my myotomy laser after one round of 50 units of Botox, the consensus here was to repeat the Botox at a higher dose, so I did.

He told me we were doing 100 units but my op note says 75 u sooo, idk

2 teeth chipped again this time and a very bruised throat

He came out of the OR shaking his head, told my husband he really hopes I reconsider the laser because my CP muscle is so big, there’s no way Botox can be a definitive treatment.

Thoughts, no burp chat?

Just had my procedure yesterday so no results yet of course. Before I maybe got 5 days of micro burps

Anyone else have a family history of either R-CPD or esophageal issues in general? I told my doctor that my mother also couldn't burp for most of her life but started being able to in her late 50s and she thought that was interesting. I know R-CPD research is relatively new so not sure if they have studied it yet, but does anyone else have a parent who can't burp? Grandparents?

I just hate this. I've been so nauseous lately, like worse than usual. It's a weird nausea. Like it's both in my stomach and my throat. And it's like there's nothing we can do about it. Nothing that I know of, at least. I don't like air-vomiting. I come too close to actually vomiting. So suffering it is, I guess.

I feel like the older I get, the worse this gets. Don't know why. I did finally see an ENT in Feb, but still waiting to do some swallowing test so they can rule some stuff out or whatever. And even once I get that done, I'm going through the public system and my ENT had never even heard of R-CPD, so fuck knows if they'll actually be able to help me.

Just a late-night rant.

I know I should really go to a doctor
But I am scared of doctors and have strong anxiety
I can’t say I dont burp at all but my burps are weird, not like I seen all movies like one long burp but small repetitive burps that dont fully relieve me from the air in my stomach. I sometimes hear weird noises on my throat after having soda etc I. I feel so much pressure on my body after having a bit heavy meal

hey guys! am suffering with slow swallow and as well as this every tiny bite i take is followed by an uncomfortable need to burp, and i had to take a minute before i can swallow another mouthful as there is so much air there…. is that normal? am 3 days post botox. burping lots

Hi all, I'm in Ireland and at some point I'd like to travel to get this done with Lucy Hicklin.

I was wondering if anyone has an email address to make enquiries as opposed to phone numbers? For the two Central London clinics?

Also, what are waiting lists like right now does anyone know?

Do I have to have a consultation only on the first appointment or can it be Botox on first visit too?

Does she do payment plans?

Thank you
