Burning stomach 4 months post Nissan fundoplication

I'm 4 months post fundoplication and my stomach still feels delicate and burns strongly every day from it's own gastric acid. The intensity follows the daily circadian rhythm of gastric acid. It's low at night, builds during the morning and peaks in the afternoon. It kills my apatite every day. At night my stomach feels beat up from the experience. I also get a cramp about where the bottom of my esophagus is and sometimes get short of breath.

Does anyone have experience with this? Does it go away or is it permenant?

My stomach became super sensitive from the meds they had me take after surgery. It felt a bit roughed up after a week of ibuprofen and rebelled strongly after a few days of Reglan. (I had gas bloat syndrome.)

I hope it's just sensitivity and not something serious like vegas nerve damage.

My surgeon and gastroenterologist are thinking visceral sensitivity. But this is a small city and it's new to them. They've never seen a case like this.

I'm already avoiding food triggers. I'm eating soft diet mostly veggies and grains like quinoa.
I'm taking one dose of H2 blocker a day, which doesn't stop all the burn but I get bad side effects from acid reducing meds.
I'm also on 50mg amitriptyline. It reduces the burning sensation but I still cramp, get short of breath and my stomach ends up feeling beat up.
Already taking DGL and zinc-carnosine.

Anyone know how this sort of thing turns out?

dennis, do you feel dizzy, sleepy, or tired after eating? you may have dumping syndrome which leads to hypoglycemia, be careful with sugars, I am also close to 4 months post op and had nothing but issues. If you feel cramping after eating that may be a sign that your food is dumping quickly to your small intestines, you may want to get a glucose meter to measure your blood sugar after eating, the measurement will give you a sign if your dumping certain foods.

you need to get a glucose monitor I have the contour next ex monitor, the strips are from contour next and they are fairly cheap on amazon, 50 strips for $13, I highly recommend you get one, I guarantee your sugars are going high then low

Update. I finally weaned off Nortriptyline a week ago. The intense burning I was taking it for has disappeared. I still have stomach issues. I still have a sour acid feeling upset stomach every day. And I still lose my apatite every day. But that's about 5 times less pain than I had a few months ago. I hope it keeps going in that direction but I don't know what's ahead.
