What Is Hiatal Hernia? What Causes It? And What Is A Diet For It?

Answer 1

I think it's when your balls squirt out of your bunghole.

Answer 2

A hiatal hernia is a condition caused a lot of times by acid reflux or other digestive problems. Most bulemics suffer from hiatal hernia as well. I found out I had a hiatal hernia from having acid reflux for so long and if you have acid reflux please do NOT take antiacid medications. I took those for years and years and they never helped and I would even cough up or throw up blood from it being so bad. I started taking a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar every time i had a meal. Acid reflux is something caused by not enough acid not too much acid. I haven't had anymore problems with my stomach or hiatal hernia since i've been doing this for about a year now (after 8 years of problems) but one thing you can do is lay off of super spicy food. I eat mexican food a lot and do the vinegar with it and i haven't had anymore problems. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

The Mayo Clinic says the following:

A hernia occurs when one part of the body protrudes through a gap or opening into another part. A hiatal hernia forms at the opening in your diaphragm where your food pipe (esophagus) joins your stomach. Part of the stomach pushes through this opening causing a hiatal hernia.

Most small hiatal hernias don't cause problems, and you may never know you have a hiatal hernia unless your doctor discovers it when checking for another condition. But a large hiatal hernia can allow food and acid to back up into your esophagus, leading to heartburn and chest pain. Self-care measures or medications can usually relieve these symptoms, although very large hiatal hernias sometimes need surgical repair.

Regarding diet, the Mayo Clinic suggests the following:

Eat small meals. Large meals can distend your stomach, pushing it into your chest.

Avoid problem foods and alcohol. Try to avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, chocolate, onions, spicy foods, spearmint and peppermint — all of which increase production of stomach acid and relax the lower esophageal sphincter. Even decaffeinated coffee can be irritating to an inflamed esophageal lining. Also try to limit citrus fruits and tomato-based foods. They're acidic and can irritate an inflamed esophagus.

Limit fatty foods. Fatty foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter and slow stomach emptying, which increases the amount of time that acid can back up into your esophagus.  

Answer 5

It is when you develop a hernia at the top of your stomach between the stomach and esophagus, the top doesn't close all the way and allows acid and food to go back up into the esophagus.  Avoid spicy foods or anything that you know causes you trouble.  Mostly, don't lay down for at least 2 hours after you eat to allow your stomach time to empty.  I do not know what causes it.
