Patients with upright reflux have predominantly nonerosive esophagitis and can be successfully treated with non-pharmacological treatments. In some studies, diaphragmatic breathing reduced acid exposure and improved gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in reflux patients. Further investigation is needed to assess the mechanism of action and efficacy of Diaphragmatic breathing. We summarize the @GIJournal discussion held on March 17, 2021 during which we discussed the article by Halland et Al titled “Effects of diaphragmatic breathing on the pathophysiology and treatment of upright reflux: a randomized controlled trial.” Key findings were reviewed by our expert Dr. Magnus Halland (MH) and the session was moderated by Dr Linda Nguyen (LN).
