Bredenoord AJ
Published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Vol. 11 (1), pp. 6-12
Key Findings
Most troublesome belching is supragastric and behavioural in origin rather than caused by excess gastric gas; explanation and speech therapy are first-line.
Conclusions
Distinguishing gastric from supragastric belching determines effective treatment.
Limitations
Narrative synthesis, limited trial data.
