Hey folks, not been on here in ages.

The story so far us that the unrelenting acid in my throat has significantly reduced, I now get much weaker attacks which over the counter antacid controls immediately.

My main affliction now is the constant bloating and stomach pain alongside major migraine-like attacks up the rear right of my head, after I eat my stomach feels like a bomb waiting to go off and the intense pressure works up into my head. Had a brain scan MRI a few weeks back which i assume is ok as ive not been called back in.

Any other long termers suffering these sides? They are extremely life changing and I feel I came out of the pan and into the fire with these hosts of sides!

you are not alone. the after effects of this, can really suck. at just over 2 years, I have to deal with esophageal spasms, which fortunately, can be treated with meds, but are not fun. gas is still an issue, I can clear a room. after I eat. my wife's got me on probiotics, and that is helping with my digestion. the new normal can be challenging. keep looking for answers, this can be tough.

A lot of people are no longer able to belch properly after their fundo, which leaves only one other way for the gas to be expelled. This is something that can be an ongoing issue, have you tried taking an anti-gas (simethicone) medication? You really need to watch your consumption of gas-producing foods and I have completely eliminated carbonation from my diet, that really does help.
