Without Risky Side Effects

A hiatus hernia (often called hiatal hernia) is the protrusion (or herniation ) of the upper part of the stomach through the hiatus through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm. It can also occur when part of the stomach pushes through next to the oesophagus into the chest cavity.

Hiatus hernias can be caused by injury, hard sneezing or coughing, heredity, smoking, heavy lifting or bending over. It is also common in those who are obese, pregnant or who have GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).

Heartburn and chest pain are the most common hiatal hernia symptoms. These symptoms are caused by stomach acid that refluxes back into the esophagus. It must be treated to avoid other more serious health problems. However, some people may not even realize they have a hiatus hernia because they don’t experience any symptoms.

Treatment and prevention of a hiatus hernia can be done through the use of natural remedies. Natural remedies are safe, effective and affordable. Below is an example of a daily routine and diet you can implement to help treat hitaus hernia symptoms.

Early Morning

Breakfast

Avoid: Eggs, dairy products, coffee and most fruit juices

Try: Watermelon, green and herbal teas

A 20 minute morning walk will help the digestion process and improve overall health.

Mid-morning

Lunch

Avoid: Highly acidic meats and fast foods that produce excess stomach acid, causing painful reflux symptoms

Try: Salmon or tuna with side servings of carrots, green beans, kale or broccoli. Herbs such as mint and fennel can help as well.

Note: If you have a hiatus hernia you should avoid bending over or lying down after eating as this can cause food and stomach acid to reflux into the esophgus.

Afternoon

Snack

Avoid: Candy bars, fast food, sodas and yogurt

Try: Celery sticks, cucumber slices, almonds or sunflower seeds

Note: Stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water. This will help boost metabolism and promote a cleaner body. It is best to avoid drinking liquids with your meals as they can hinder digestion and dilute beneficial stomach acid when it is needed to process food quickly.

Evening

Dinner

Avoid: Acidic meats, especially red meat. Keep portions small as heavy meals in the evening not only encourage weight gain, but will not digest before bedtime, increasing the likelihood of acid reflux when you go to sleep.

Try: Smaller, lighter meals in the evening. Soup and/or salad are better choices. Soups can include broccoli, potato, lentils and others. Salads are good because they do not have bad carbs and can include many alkaline vegetables. Just make sure to go easy on the dressing, and avoid creamy dressings.

Note: Another short walk after dinner is good for everyone, not just those with a hiatus hernia. If you must lay down within a couple hours of your last meal keep you upper body raised to avoid acid reflux.
