hiatal hernia : Hitus hernia and acid reflux problem

I am glad to note that ruth45 has recommended that you use the remedy that I believe I first suggested on this and another forum for acidity in the stomach which is usually accompanied by a feeling of fullness and puffiness which is most uncomfortable if as you state, this has resulted in Hiatus Hernia.

This condition usually arises as direct result of a hyperacidic condition in your stomach over a long period and your doctors would have first prescribed antacids which are usually tablets of aluminium hydroxide which neutralize the acid in the stomach. I note that you have recently been prescribed Nexium but this and the other drugs that you have used over the years cannot cure you and will only serve to palliate your ailment temporarily.

Over a period of years if this ailment is not rectified, the acid eats through the pyloric valve located at the botttom of the aesophagus and thereby makes a bad situation infinitely worse by pushing the acid up to your throat with as you would have realized, painful results.

Nat Phos 6x works in a different way by promoting peristalysis in the stomach and thereby helps the stomach to digest and propel the food out of the stomach thereby preventing the formation of acid.

If you decide to use Nat Phos 6x you must stop all other drugs. The dose is 2 tablets taken after lunch and 2 after dinner. I believe that you should find relief within 15 minutes after your meal when that uncomfortable feeling vanishes. You should carry a supply on your person if you are dine out to take within about 10 minutes after a meal.

There are a few points that you should observe to overcome your ailment.
Do not eat large meals as these contribute to acidity, gastric reflux and Hiatus Hernia. Avoid drinking water after a meal and only sip it for about 2 hours after a meal. Sit up erect on a chair after a meal for at least an hour preferably 2 hours and do not go to bed during this period till you feel that your food is all digested.
