No. My gastroenterologist does not recommend it. Says it does not work well in most cases. I had enquired into it. I think I read somewhere that it was the consequence not a cause of a dysfunctional digestive system. Since I seemed to have healed/remedied my digestive issues, without any further need of PPIs which brought in their train a whole host of deleterious absorption issues, anemia, maybe contributed to breast cancer, I wonder if the hernia 'healed itself" or closed up. No way of knowing without an unnecessary endoscopy, I suppose.
