I'm glad that you found this forum, @nofire. I found support on Mayo Connect when I was facing my third surgery of the upper digestive tract and it gave me confidence that this is a chronic condition and one that others had lived through.

You mentioned that you are learning how diet affects you. Could you share more about that?

Absolutely! I am experimenting with eating smaller meals more often. I get less of a bloated feeling and less pressure in my stomach. I am also eating less spicy foods, and less fermented items. I have cut down red meats a bit and always try for the leaner cuts. I will allow myself small portions of potatoes and gravy, etc. I never was much of a sugar hound so that's no issue. Probably the toughest thing for me was cutting out beer and wine. I still have a beer or a glass of wine socially but stop after one. I would love to hear what others find effective.
