Imagine ten doctor visits over 18 months, searching desperately for relief from a mysterious cluster of miserable GI symptoms: A) relentless bloating, B) embarrassing flatulence, C) loud gurgling, D) hiccups, and more. Ten doctors. Countless appointments. Test after test — physical exams, endoscopies, gastric-emptying studies, even two MRIs — all returning without meaningful answers. This is the real story of one patient with R-CPD (retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction). And their story is repeated more than 2300 times in the Bastian Voice Institute caseload. Another patient saw thirteen GI specialists before finally receiving the correct diagnosis. In every case, the turning point came from recognizing R-CPD, a disorder first described and defined by Dr. Robert Bastian, who identified the condition, established its diagnostic criteria, and opened a pathway to effective treatment. Dr. Bastian is making himself available for a webinar to explain what he has learned and to address many unanswered questions patients and their doctors may have: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9317625274195/WN_…
