I have GERD and it doesn't seem to matter what I eat or if I eat. I read that a hiatal hernia can sometimes be the cause but have no idea how you would determine if you have a hernia. Seems a lot of doctors struggle to see them on imaging.

Yes, you’re right. I have a hiatal hernia, too. They can see them on CT scan. Sitting upright when eating and digesting instead of slumping can help, but I don’t know if the surgery is worth it to me. Hope you can get some answers!

I have a hiatal hernia and herd. They go together because you're not in your stomach actually pushes everything up through your esophagus. As if we don't have enough problems.
