Hituas hernia issues??

Anybody with a hituas hernia suffering from swollen stomach? Pains under rib cages constant pain !!

My knowledge of hituas hernia would give you pain when lying down or leaning forward. If pain in every position e.g. standing up and if the pain does not change I think you need to see your Dr ASAP.

Hi, I have a hiatus hernia and it also gives me lots of grief, I too have a very swollen stomach which gets me down. 9 weeks ago I started FODMAP diet which has helped a bit. I also have an ovarian cyst which aggravates mine but hopefully not for much longer as hoping to have it removed soon. I take 30mg of lanzaprozol daily but have taken 60mg a day in the past. I also take buscopan 20mg 3 x a day all to try and reduce the pain. It helps a little and have not been stuck on all fours on the floor for a while but my stress has also been reduced as off work currently. Are you seeing a gastroenterologist if not get a referral to one. Your not alone although I'm sure like me sometimes you feel you are..

Do you mind me asking, how old you are as my gastro guy didn't want to operate on me he said I was too young I'm in my 40's. I see my guy again end of January.

Hey im just 37.

Thanks for letting me know. My gastro guy wants me to use the FODMAP diet to reduce symptoms which does help but limits what I can eat which is hard as I love spicy food :-(.
