I have both IBS and GERD. I also have the feeling of still having to go after I have already had a BM. I also have been belching through every meal. I am exploring surgery for the GERD after more than 25 years, but the Nissen procedure has me scared. Anyone else have both? Any remedies for the IBS.?

I can really can't comment on the Nissen procedure but you might find some answers for that on our GERD forum. As for IBS, Do you have IBS-D or C? Usually with IBS, it can help to be on a high fiber diet. Or take fiber supplements. Also, you can try finding your trigger foods by keeping a food diary. Record everything you eat and see if you can find a correlation to symptoms and what you eat.

This is not a solution but helps both IBS C and D quite a bit. As soon as you get up in the morning before even brushing your teeth drink 3 glasses of warm water on an empty stomach. Do this on a continuous basis everyday and see if it makes a difference. You may start with 1 glass and take it upto 2 or 3 if you can.

In addition to the above don't eat for atleast half hour after drinking the water.
