Linx post op
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've just over one week ago had the LINX procedure after years of reflux. It got to the stage where I was unable to function not being able to sleep properly, eat properly,without being sick the list is endless but since the op they have all vanished straight away but...... I have gas like I've never known, belching after food, it gets worse as the day goes on and it smells disgusting . My stomach is also distended and I feel bloated a lot of the time. I'm hoping it's just my stomach getting used to the changes and it'll pass. Can anyone advise please ?

Lovelane, I am not a doctor and I don't know much about what could cause what you have but I would ask the doctor. Are you having diarrhea? Are you taking acid reducers? Have you eaten carbohydrates that are difficult to digest (cabbage family, lentils, beans, sugar in -ol, fibers)? You probably know that some bacteria feed off the non digested sugars in our gut and cause bloating.

I still say that Lovelane has to balance his gut flora correctly or wait for it to settle down.
My doctor came to see me about my stomach yesterday and when I said about biotics she looked at me and said what are they? I had to tell her what they were? I have had the same with other doctors. Maybe you have been luckier or maybe I have just met many more doctors or both?
A naturopath is the person to go to for nutrition etc advice not a doctor. Lovelane is right in saying that fibre will help to repair or keep a splincter strong. The doctor would not know this usually. I doubt the surgeon would either. I agree with yuo that some bacteria feed off non digested sugars, this is why people should never eat fruit together with other foods.

Lovelane, if you stopped the ppi recently, there must be some changes in the balance of bacteria in your guts. Also I am not sure if you eat more or less fibers, but more fibers could cause gas as well. Enzymes might help too but I don't know about them. Sorry to not be of much help.
