    Hi David,

    You bet it can. I also had an umilical (belly button) hernia last December and had it fixed. But I had severe bloating (wore maternity pants), lots of burping and burning indigestion. So your issues could very well be from the hernia. I would look into a possible upper GI endoscopy to rule out any other problems causing your discomfort. Hope you get squared away. Linda

      Did you have a Nissen Fundo for the hiatal hernia or are you talking about something else?

    I was speaking about my own belly button umbilical hernia and its symptoms, which did cause me the issues you mentioned in your original question.
