Posted on Sat, 2 Jul 2016
Question: Hello Doctor

I have been diagnosed with a sliding hital hernia and reflux about 5 years ago;
But a week ago I came across the great news on the internet about a natural cure, that can help this problem.

Can you tell me if this is worth trying ? or is this total fake ?

Brief Answer:
In my opinion it cannot solve the problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.

You have to understand that hiatus hernia occurs due to weakness of various muscles that holds or strengthen the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES).

So I could not understand how this compound can strenghthen those weak muscles. However I am not the authority to comment on that. But in my opinion it can not be possible.
XXXXXXX can be strengthened by surgical method only by fundoplication and reduction of hernia. And that is required when medicines do not give relief.

However there are few tips which I prescribe to my patients with this Hernia and found to be useful are :

1.avoid tea, coffee, oily and spicy food.
2.Also avoid citrus fruits.
3.Among medications take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole and a prokinetic agent like domperidone.
4.Dont lie down at least for 2 hrs after any meal and
5. Dont drink water for at least 2 hrs with any meal.

If you have already dome all this them surgery is the only option left.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health

Brief Answer:
Yes it is safe and effective also

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back

Yes it is safe and effective also. More than 95% of the patients do well after this surgery. It can be done by laparoscope also which lead to minimal stay in hospital post surgery. In this surgery fundus of the stomach is wrapped around the lower part of oesophagus leading to strenthening of XXXXXXX and hernia is also reduced.

Wish you a good health
