Suffer From Esophagus Problem And Acid Reflux. Have Hiatus Hernia. Need A Permanent Solution
Hi I suffer from an esophygus problem and acid reflux i also have a sliding hietus hernia (sorry if these are spelt incorrectly) why is it the daily gurgles I suffer become worse when i lay on my left in bed at night? Also I have been referred to several professors and neither of them seem to be able to help with my daily discomfort and painful experiences. The gurgles are after any food or drink and are embarrassing :( sometimes painful and breath taking, the only way to get rid of the gurgles is to put my fingers down my throat and a gush of trapped air is released (not healthy but it works) or to lay on my back (not always possible) thanks Julie
