💨 Abstract

Kaliesha Rae from Utah suffers from Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction (RCPD), a rare condition that prevents her from burping. This results in severe bloating, discomfort, and other symptoms due to a buildup of gas. RCPD occurs when the cricopharyngeus muscle, which should relax to allow air out, remains tense.
