I have a double hernia and think it has caused indigestion and gas issues. I try to drink lots of water which seems to help some. When the indigestion hits it hurts and I take tums or baking soda to help. Never have had this problem before at first I wasn't sure what it was. I do have back issues just hurt and hoping that pain will go away. Direaha
Can hit instantly w stomach pain and that's always a surprise. Can't believe you have had for 29 yrs. think I've had mine sometime but getting unbearable in my back w pain and have to stop for awhile and rest up. Just diagnosed 1/2 yr ago and surgery this Tues. not happy about that but think I need bc of the hurting. Mine is igunial.

Don't have a problem too much with gas issues. But much of the food that I eat seems to get stuck down in the diaphram area. Had an endoscopy test last Tuesday which turned out normal. But was eating peanut butter crackers yesterday andd got really sick from them- ended up in the Emergency Room for several hours. Am going back to see my surgeon this coming Thursday. Best wishes for your recovfery, James.
sorry to hear about the er .hope they can get it fixed.what do you take for the gas problem.
