I keep coming up with translations for "béance" that seem to be in a dental context, whereas this obviously has to do with the stomach. I did to a couple Google searches but nothing indicating what the English equivalent is. Nothing in my Lépine medical dictionary (or other sources), either.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 incompetent cardia
3 +1 cardial incompetence
