Hi, as mentioned I'm currently in hiatus hernia / acid reflux / regurgitation hell.
I'm so frustrated as I'm so careful to keep it at bay.
I've got the bedhead up on blocks, stripped my diet right back, smaller portions etc. I'm using Gaviscon at night before bed.
What I've realised is that the breathing problems I put down to heavy period anemia were probably the hernia. Also I've been reading up and apparently the stomach then releases histermine hence the ****ly sensations I also used to have.
I'm so reluctant to start PPIS or H2 blockers as I'm pretty sure this causes magnesium and B12 deficiency.... more aches and pains / neuropathy stuff which I've mostly got rid of.
I'm just wondering how everyone else copes. Do you use PPIS or H2 blockers (which I understand have less side effects). Have you been able to just take them short term? Which brands do you take.
My hernia has slipped back down previously so I'm hoping it does that again. I've found an exercise to help with that.
To be honest it's a blow, I've just fully recovered post hysterectomy and was feeling great and ready to get back to work but now feel totally rubbish again. Sorry for the winge x
