Hiatus hernia

I have one and find that bread makes the heartburn worse. If I don't eat bread, have small meals and don't eat after 6pm I can get away with just one lansoprazole 15 mg in the morning

This feedback is so useful thanks to all, but does anyone suffer from burping please?

Yes I do! And the other end!

Hi Fartoold thanks for taking the time to reply and letting me know you also burp a lot, if I don’t it can feel uncomfortable as trapped wind!

I know this is an old thread, but…

I’ve just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia (had the oscopy). Does anyone else suffer from retching, sometimes when eating a meal and frequent nausea/almost passing out?

I’ve been prescribed Omeprazole, but as someone who almost always reacts very badly from taking medicines, I’m very reluctant to take it! Do Rennies help?

I’m seeing the Consultant again in ten days for an update/biopsy results.

Squiffy - as I replied upthread, I have a hiatus hernia. I always carry Rennies for short term relief, and suck Gaviscon tablets as I go to sleep. I was prescribed Lanzoprazole which worked but I couldn't tolerate side effects. I find ranitidine worked well - not available now- famotidine is the alternative. I take one of the "-azoles" (ppis) occasionally. I do occasionally get retching when eating if I get acid reflux, but not a passing out feeling.

Thanks Farmor15! I did read the whole thread, but clearly didn’t take it all in!
