acid reflux/ulcer/hernia?

Question

tried prilosec, and aciphex, worse at night!

Answer 1

I have had a hiatal hernia for years. Have been treated with tagamet for occasional ulcers and it was effective. To prevent the reflux: sit up right for at least 45 minutes after eating, sleep with your head elevated to some extent, and eat a more bland diet. Heavily spiced foods will irritate the stomach lining even worse than it already is. Most importantly avoid all carbonated drinks.

Answer 3

Make sure you don't eat two to three hours before bedtime..
If you want to eat something spicy it is best to do that earlier in the day.

Get some two inch blocks and put them under the headboard posts on your bed. Then take some pillows and prop yourself up so that you are laying at a 45 degree angle.It is best to not lay flat because that makes your esophagus get the back up of stomach contents.

You might also need a prescription strength of the melds you are taking, And you also might need to take the med twice a day.

Keep handy some saltine crackers, a couple of them can really help calm down the acid in your stomach.

If your hernia is bad enough there is a surgery that can be done. Although, this is only if it is very bad.

Usually acid reflux is very manageable

This is a natural program that you can try to cure your acid reflux http://acidreflux.toptips.org

Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs due to the coexistence of several medical and lifestyle conditions. Physiological factors that trigger GERD include lower esophageal sphincter (LES) hypotonia (the gradual weakening of the LES), along with retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, and the level of sensitivity of the esophageal mucus to the reflux content.
