Detox Error / Hiatal Hernia
<<Might look into the possibility of hiatal hernia.
I actually developed reflux after being on the diet for a couple of years
and after having an endoscopy, they found I had a hiatal hernia. (An
endoscopy is where they put a thin tube with a camera down your throat to
get a good look at your esophagus and stomach opening.)
A hiatal hernia is when the seal between your esophagus and stomach does not
totally close allowing acid from your stomach to escape. There are many
causes for this, not all diet related and therefore it cannot always be
cured by diet. Mine is too small to operate on so I take Prilosec, an acid
reducing medication. (Others I know with larger hiatal hernias have had
surgery to correct theirs and have been very happy with the results.)
Good luck!
