First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a non-instrumental biofeedback technique to help people with irritable bowel syndrome or dyspepsia who experience visible abdominal bloating after meals. 41 participants were taught to control their abdominal and chest muscles using a video guide, then practiced the exercises before and after meals for four weeks. The goal was to see if this simple, drug-free approach could reduce the sensation of bloating and changes in belly size.
