Welcome to the club (hiatus hernia club)
I got diagnosed with that some 14 years ago and It can be unpleasant i know, but with a little bit of common sence its not a problem.
Avoid acidic foods and coffee is out unless its decaf.
The best tip i got was to raise the headboard end of the bed so you dont vomit in your sleep, I did and slightly damaged the vocal chords but there OK now.
A brick under each corner of the headboard end of the bed and thats job done.
If you take it easy and avoid the heavy drinking =curry sessions, you will be back to normal by Christmas.

its the acid my problem is, and its quite painful sometimes. but least my blood is back to normal again and i cant bear a lot of stuff i eat lately so i should be ok with the change

Yes mate I know what your saying.
I was lucky as my GP was also a mate of mine and he said listen to your body its telling you something isnt wright.
The raising of the headboard end of the bed took some getting use to , but atleast I got a good nights sleep and that is very important.
Your system has been damaged by the acid and needs a rest from it you need to take it easy for a while so the damage can repair its self.

Hi Rich,
          Didn't know you had this problem, if I'd known we could have exchanged horror stories!!! .

  What tablets are you taking, Lansoprazole?

 When i had my first attack of this about 7 years ago i thought i was having a heart attack and so did the paramedics until they put me on a heart monitor .

  Did you have the camera done the throat test, oh what a joy that was .

 Got to admit I've not had any problems for around 3 years now and intend/hope to keep it that way, best way i found to give up smoking is to just quit which i did in May 96 after 22 years of trying to slowly kill myself but i suppose everybody's different .

        Hope you stay pain free,

                           Pete

not sure what is the reason for this, but doesn't sound too bad to me.  Bacon sarny anyone

i had iron deficiency anemia. and now have haitia hernia and severe acid reflux which is doing good as long as i stay on the pills.

I have had hiatis hernia for 10 yrs. I think it's for life. Chewing gum seems to help? Don't know why.
