In the meantime, I think you should lower your 9 pressure. Go as low as you need to go to reduce the aerophagia. Anything (even 4 or 5) is better than being miserable or not using the machine at all.

Did you try turning the cflex off altogether? As weird as that sounds, some people say that helps.

I will try it without the C-Flex and see how that works.

My doctor is on a leave until the end of May. The
nurse said I'd have to wait.

I do remember that you have to wait two months, but you have an appointment already, right?

I've been gone for a couple of days. Thanks Linda, I will
make that appointment.

I tried it again a couple of times. It's just not going to work
right with this set-up.
