Burp Tox: RCPD Treatment by New Look New Life

If you suffer from “no-burp syndrome,” you know how uncomfortable it is. Not being able to release trapped gas from your stomach causes bloating and pain. It can make it hard to eat your favorite foods and affect your quality of life. Luckily, there’s a treatment that can help.

“Burp Tox” is the latest innovation in the treatment of Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction (RCPD), otherwise known as the inability to burp. We believe that it is the most promising new treatment for alleviating the discomfort, embarrassment, and other unpleasant symptoms of RCPD. Here’s what you should know.

Botox for Burping: The Modern Solution to RCPD

RCPD treatment is less complicated than you might think. Burp Tox, also known as “Botox for burping,” greatly reduces symptoms in the majority of patients who receive it. In fact, some RCPD patients experience complete remission (the absence of any symptoms) with Burp Tox!

How Burp Tox Works

Scientists believe that the cricopharyngeal muscle likely contracts more in patients with RCPD. This muscle contraction is what keeps gas trapped in your chest and stomach and makes it hard to swallow.

Botox is the surprising solution to the muscle dysfunction you experience with no-burp syndrome. It’s an injectable neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes certain muscles. This ability to paralyze muscles is what makes Botox such a popular wrinkle treatment. For patients who struggle to burp because of RCPD, Botox delivers another kind of relief.

When injected into the right area, Botox causes the problematic cricopharyngeal muscle to relax. This makes it much easier for gas to pass through and prevents the uncomfortable buildup and bloating you’re used to.

What Is RCPD (No-Burp Syndrome)?

Burping is the way your body removes extra gas from your stomach. If you have no-burp syndrome (RCPD), you aren’t able to burp properly. This means that gas builds up in your stomach and causes discomfort and other symptoms.

Doctors believe that the cause of RCPD is a malfunction in the muscle at the top of your esophagus (the cricopharyngeal muscle).

Common RCPD Symptoms

Not being able to burp is what characterizes RCPD. While this causes discomfort in itself, the other symptoms of no-burp syndrome can make your life much harder.

RCPD can cause gurgling noises in your throat, chest, and stomach. The gurgling sounds come from the gas that can’t get out through your esophagus and mouth. Social norms make these gas noises inappropriate when you’re in public. They can be embarrassing and distracting for both you and the people around you.

RCPD can also lead to excessive bloating. You might find yourself passing gas (flatulence) frequently as the gas escapes from the other end of your body. Additionally, you might feel uncomfortably full most of the time, and it may be hard to move around after you eat a big meal or drink something carbonated.

Difficulty swallowing is common with RCPD. You might feel like something is pressing on your neck, preventing you from properly passing food down your esophagus. This makes eating an unenjoyable experience.

What to Expect During the Burp Tox Procedure

Physicians inject Botox for burping under general anesthesia. This means you won’t be awake for the procedure. The process is usually quick, typically lasting between 30 minutes and an hour.

During the procedure, a physician will inject a safe dose of Botox into your upper esophageal sphincter muscle (the cricopharyngeal muscle). The treatment then works like any other neurotoxin injectable: Within a few days or weeks, the muscle begins to relax.

While the effects of some other Botox treatments only last for around three months, Burp Tox may offer relief for a longer amount of time. Some patients experience permanent RCPD relief, which means that they never have to get Burp Tox again. Your results may vary depending on your medical history and other unique factors.

Prices for Burp Tox can vary by location. Since this is an emerging treatment, some insurance providers do not cover it. If you need help fitting Burp Tox into your budget, we can discuss whether a payment plan is right for you.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Burp Tox Treatments

Think about what your life would be like if you no longer struggled with trapped gas and uncomfortable bloating. Picture yourself in social settings without uncontrollable gurgling noises in your throat and chest. Your quality of life is almost certain to improve if you address the root cause of your burping dysfunction.

Some positive side effects of Burp Tox treatments include:

• Comfort in social situations

• Reduced bloating

• Ability to burp

• Reduced flatulence

• Lack of chest and abdominal pain from trapped gas

• Better ability to swallow

• Fast results

• Long-lasting relief

You might be surprised by how much being able to burp improves your life.

Good Candidates for Burp Tox

During your consultation, a physician will evaluate you for RCPD symptoms and assess your overall health.

You’re likely a good candidate for Burp Tox if your difficulty with burping is affecting your quality of life. Symptoms like bloating, excessive flatulence, and chest pain all cause distress and, at times, social embarrassment. If the physician determines that your symptoms would likely calm down or go away altogether if you got Burp Tox, they may approve you for the procedure.

Since Burp Tox is administered under general anesthesia, you should only get this procedure if you are in good health. This includes lifestyle factors like quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, following a healthy diet, and getting plenty of exercise.
