I've been suffering from acid indigestion all week and also I had a bout of the same thing about two weeks prior to the present bout. I am beginning to fear I might have a hiatus hernia and/or acid reflex or something or other. I certainly haven't eaten anything outside of my normal boring diet and I am on a very strict IBS-safe food regime.
Does anyone know what I could safely take to control the acid indigestion (the acid comes into my throat) without triggering an IBS attack?
Also, does anyone know if a barium swallow (if I need an X-ray to check what's causing my problem) will be safe, or will it provoke an IBS attack? I'm so nervous about these things.
Lastly, does anyone know whether there's a way to minimize flare-ups caused by a hiatus hernia? I would think having both IBS and a hiatus hernia will be like walking a tight rope in terms of trying to control the symptoms.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
