I had hiatal hernia repair in 2016, it helped me alot on the Gerd issue. They repaired the hernia and did a TIF operation to fix the valve. Basically it created a new valve. I've had ibs since my 20s so probably 20 years before that hernia operation so I didn't see any difference before and after although my ibs has gotten worse over the years. Recently I've been diagnosed with low vitamin D and since taking vit d it has helped my ibs-d and now I get occasional constipation but not to bad. Hope this helps.
