1) Do most foods cause you severe stomach pain, except, say, cabbage and watermelon? Why would certain alkaline foods be a problem for Hernia sufferers?
2) Did you ever suffer from ectopic beats or diaphragm contractions?
3) Did your earliest symptoms include pain/cramp behind the left ribs perhaps when laughing?
4) Do you get a Chronic cough?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi Falkor, all foods would aggravate if your having a flare up, although alkaline foods should be fine, suggest eat slowly and chew food well.
ealy symptoms did include pain cramp behing ribs. All symptoms can settle down however. The correct meds will help stomach to settle down.

I had a scope run down my throat cause of weight lost of 30pds with not trying-severe stomach pain an they found nothing-but when I eat I feel sick an at 6ft4 and was 228 now 197 any dairy foods will make me feel sick an I eat one sandwich I am full,so now they will check my pancreis
No food issues at all
yes and yes
yes rib pain and in fact broke 3 libs coughing
productive chronic cough but lungs clear on X-rays
Yes most foods cause me pain. Constant pain under my right rib, moves all across my diaphragm. Acid reflux, I have no Dairy anymore, if I eat any fatty foods it kills all day and eve! Lots of cramps especially putting socks on!! Excessive bloating and no meds work for me!!!!
I found that meds only make it worse. What does work is digestive enzymes with betaine hcl. Poorly digested food produces gas in the stomach and intestines. The bloating causes the acid reflux and abdominal pain. I found that the first food and drink in the morning I take one enzyme and then two with lunch and evening meal. Plus I can eat anything providing I use the enzymes.
Hi I have just been diagnosed with ectopic beats and have an hiatus hernia. I have suffered with these beats for years and are very uncomfortable but the ecg did not pick them up until now. I have been given medication but it is not really working.
I am having a Barium Swallow at the end of this month for something else. The scan should also show the Hernia.
I'm so desperate for something to work!, meds make me worse and I only believe in natural medicine, could you tell me what to buy please? Thanks :-)
Lesley get you some aloe vera juice works great
Don't know if this info is allowed on this forum. Holland & Barrett "Ultra women enzyme complex".
I have some, only been taking it 3 days so not noticed any difference as yet! I've spent so much money trying to find something that works :-(
Lesley my stomach was killing me an like you i was trying everything-I was watching a program online about stomach pain and the guy said if your Stomach Acid is low it will cause alot of pain and he said to drink lemon juice to up your stomach acid-I bought some lemons and put a slice in water after 3months and losing 30pds my stomach pain almost completly stopped-now I just put a slice of lemon in my water all day-Better then anything I tired and what the gy said made since
try putting a slice of lemon in your water see how that helps ya
They have me on xareto 20mg after dinner to keep Blood thin so wont get Clots or Stroke-I Had afib for years and then got worse-they cut a peice out oif my heart last year now I dont have no afib-I had it 3months after the surgery because of scar tissue after that no more-but I have to take xareto cause I got a bloodclot on my left lung cause I stopped the xareto for 3 surgeries-you cannot stop it for more then 5 days before surgery but I was off of it 5 weeks causes I had sureries back to back
But my acid levels from my ph study test was really high, 33.5 instead of 12.5!, but if i take the antacid pills they gave me it was hell, like someone had stabbed me in the ribs!!. The doctors are not interested and ive hit a dead end!!
What type pill you take-if its not Zantac or Nexium or prosilec then I wouldn't be taking any other-I found buying Zantac over the counter is better then half the pills they give to people-One teaspoon baking soda in a full glass of water helps clean your entire stystem out
Hi thomas,
Was you having palpitations as well as the Afib. How fast was your heartbeat during the attack?
Thanks
I don't take anything except gaviscon and aloe Vera. I have got nexim bit they don't work, nothing takes the pain away! But I will try the baking soda!!!, always bloated, :-(
real quick and sometimes real slow like I could put my hand on my neck feel three beats felt like it was stopping an going-best thing to do is take an asprin 81mg every day to keep your blood thin if your not on a blood thinner-if you been to a doctor you should be on xareto or another type to keep your blood thin sso helps prevent Stroke
yes try baking soda to cleanse your system an you should get you some zantac an take one in the morning an one in the afternoon and see if it works for you,I think you will feel better and get some lemons and put a peice in eacg glass of water you Drink-
