Sorry you're feeling so badly.lst, have you talked to the doc abt this???? If not....I'd do so immediately for advice!
I know how it is........! I have reflux (GERDS). So.........No peppermint!!!!!!, no acidic foods like citrus juices or fruit, no tomatos, no spicey stuff. Wish I knew the link.....but search under WebMD and there is a complete list plus what to take.
I'd 1st try Gaviscon which works well, if that doesn't work try Pepcid and Prilosec (which used to be for prescription is now over the counter).
Usually they (a GI) does an endoscopy......putting a tube down your throat to diagnose. Also diagnoses hiatial hernia, etc.
It's a short procedure and you don't feel anything w/the med they give you. I'd beware of the barium too.......as it could tend to make you constipated......I tthink......and I'd be worried abt. it upsetting my system re IBS.
Many on here have IBS and GERDS.
Can also try tums or rolaids.
Good luck....! AND.......let me know how u make out!
By the way do a search for hiatial hernia under WebMD too. They have a tonnn of info on everything! I'd guess u r having trouble w/acid indigestion not h. hernia.
