Suggest Treatment For Hiatal Hernia
I have hiatal hernia and it s small from what the doc said reading the cat scan...does it mean I can t drink beer anymore? Or does it mean I will just have to deal with the food coming up? I don t have pain just certain food come up and feel it in my throat then I burp up the foods that come up to clear my throat.

hi,
since it is small hiatal hernia surgery is not required, i would advise you to take small quantities of food or drink anytime and to sit up for 30 min after taking anything, also there are many good prokinetic medicine available like domperidone,levosulphuride and itapride which you can take 30 min before meals.
