What Causes Inflammation Feeling In The Hiatal Area?

Hi, I have been experiencing an inflammation feeling in the hiatal area for many months with one or two episodes of acid reflux. The symptoms have increased since a visit to Egypt when I contracted a nasty episode of norovirus. My doctor has prescribed omeprazole twice a day which hasn't had much effect. I am also trying to eradicate by avoiding acid producing foods. Any further advice would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Increase your dietary fiber intake daily. Drink warm water full of glass at bed time. plenty of warm water in the Morning. Don't drink water 30 min before having any meal. and don't drink water for 40 minutes after having meal. These habits will definitely help you in curing acid reflex problem and will heal your inflammation feeling in hiatal area.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
