This Children’s Illustrated book is believed to be the first in the world detailing Retrograde CricoPharyngeal Dysfunction (R-CPD) , commonly referred to as The Inability to Burp, which depicts an example journey many people face obtaining a proper diagnosis for a most debilitating disorder, This Children’s Illustrated book is supported with a Foreword by the person considered to be the World Authority on the disorder, Robert Bastian MD, who had the privilege of fully codifying, establishing diagnostic criteria, and validating the proper treatment for R-CPD. This book aims to raise awareness about The Inability to Burp. By shedding light on this severe disorder, the author hopes to help parents, families, friends, and healthcare providers recognise the profound impact their responses & actions —or lack thereof— can have on those affected. This book illustrates the impact this most debilitating disorder has on people and the physical and physiological consequences from excess gas trapped inside the body. The book intends to provide an insight into challenges faced when attempting to get treatment for a disorder a healthcare professional does not know about or understand. The experiences encountered by sufferers and their parents are detailed within these pages are harrowing and it is hoped that you will find this book insightful and recognise that the act of burping is not a universal norm; not everyone experiences it in the same way, which can lead to significant physical and physiological consequences. Many individuals, including Children, are frequently overlooked by healthcare professionals, particularly gastroenterologists / ‘Tummy Doctors’, who may not fully acknowledge the potential impact of this disorder or for the ability for patients to self-diagnosis this condition with relative ease – If you cannot burp, you cannot burp, and that could be the source of the issue. Research indicates that almost all sufferers are currently self-diagnosed indicating a lack of awareness etc amongst the Medical Community. Excess gas trapped inside can create a host of symptoms and issues which are often misdiagnosed by physicians due to lack of foresight, lack of understanding and potentially even arrogance and a lack of realisation that they might just not k now what they do not know. This book illustrates many of the issues Non-Burpers can experience.
