Yes, try the Paleo Diet and cut out all the carbs! Even watch the fruit. It worked miracles for me. I was still taking Zantac twice a day after my LINX surgery, after stopping all carbs and fruit I lost the bloating, gas, burning, weight and no longer have to take anything!

@karen44, have you spoken to your doctor about this? What did they say? Have they been able to rule anything out?

I can have a MRI under 0.7 Tesla, whatever that is. And I haven’t had to vomit since having the LINX but my Mayo surgeon said I could, although I would rather not test that! I can burp but don’t have the need as much anymore. I thought they could remove the hernia. I had a small one they removed. I went to Dr. Harold at Mayo Phoenix.
