What grade of HH do you have? I have a grade A (not serious) but don't get frequent reflux so only occasionally take the pills. As far as I know there are no new advances in surgery). What diet regime do you follow as that would be the most effective way of controlling it?

i have a small hiatal hernia..it causes esophagitis and reflux..i get chest pains when.i walk or do daily chores..i avoid spicy foods and red meat and bread..takes lots of yogurt..still get chest pains..

i.m amazed medical science is unable to find anyrhing yet..
