I tried everything including the acupuncture and bentonite clay. Acupuncture only made me tired the day I had done. The bentonite clay did nothing except taste disgusting. Everything I had going on, the acid reflux with acid reflux, delayed gastric emptying, gas, bloating, I also had Chilaiditi Syndrome which is a long story. I didn't have the gas and bloating until I had the Nissen fundoplication surgery 2 years ago. I tried every medication, prescription and supplements and nothing helped much. With the gas and bloating the best that helped me was Pepto but it was minimal help but it will constipate you. I had to have surgery for any quality of life. I researched a ton of surgeons, narrowed it down to 3 and went and saw them. I ended up going with the surgeon with 30 years experience and communicated well with what should be done and why. I'm 6 weeks out and everyday I'm feeling better. I already feel better than I did before the surgery. I hope it continues. I hope you start feeling better. I wish you the best.

I’m glad your feeling better. That’s great!! How long did you try the clay or the acupuncture? I have almost everything you listed and a few more. Trying to stay away from surgery due to the massive amount of scar tissue which causes SBO all the time. I’m exhausted with everything and just want to feel like “my normal” self again. And also exhaust all possibilities before surgery. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you for responding, I love to be able to talk to people who have been thru the ringer, they understand and also have remedies and tricks that can help 😊

Has the surgery helped with the constipation, bloating and gas? My surgeon did not tell me about any of these potential post surgery problems.
