Yes I believe it was the fruit as I stated I was still on Ranitidine twice a day after surgery until I cut out fruit. I have recently gone on the carnivore diet and eliminated all fruit and vegetables and it has really helped my stomach!! I cannot digest fiber without gas and bloating but at least the Linx keeps the acid out of my esophagus.

Would an integrative medicine doctor or nutritionist be able to help you gradually incorporate at least a small amount of some low fiber fruits and vegetables into your diet? The “carnivore diet” would not seem healthy over time. I sometimes worry about effects the restrictive Low FODMAP diet I am using along with restrictions for GERD. But as you said, at least your LINX device is controlling the acid in your esophagus. I suspect I will be looking at surgical options in the near future so I am interested in seeing input pros and cons for LINX. Where did you have the procedure done?
