So, other than doing a huge study of some type (and I'm absolutely NOT going there,) if you are struggling with aerophagia, turning off C-FLEX is a simple experiment. If your aerophagia decreases, C-FLEX may have been the culprit. If the aerophagia does not decrease, and you find that you miss the exhalation relief that C-FLEX offers, then turn C-FLEX back on.
I don't think that anyone was suggesting that C-FLEX is the ONLY cause of aerophagia.

Guest, no one is saying that C-FLEX IS the cause. What some folk are saying is that C-FLEX MAY be the cause. I agree with you that aerophagia has been around longer than C-FLEX; I guess the question would be "did incidence of aerophagia increase with the introduction of C-FLEX?"saying CFlex is the cause is inaccurate.
