Hiatal Hernia Syndrome: A Beginner's 3-Step Plan to Managing Hiatal Hernia Syndrome Through Diet, With Sample Recipes and a Meal Plan

by Patrick Marshwell

Overview

Hiatal hernia syndrome refers to the symptoms that result from a hiatal hernia, which is when part of the stomach protrudes up through an opening in the diaphragm called the esophageal hiatus.

The two most common types are sliding and paraesophageal hernias.

While a hiatal hernia itself is not dangerous, it can lead to a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can cause symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. In some cases, it can also lead to more serious problems like ulcers or Barrett's esophagus.

According to the American College of Gastroenterology, hiatal hernia syndrome is one of the most common conditions that gastroenterologists treat. The good news is that there are a number of treatment options available to help manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Some of these treatments may include lifestyle changes, such as making dietary or exercise modifications, or medications like anti-reflux medications or pain relievers. There may also be surgical options, such as laparoscopic surgery or a procedure called the Nissen fundoplication.

Editorial Reviews

"Laid out in the clearest of terms, this book is easy to understand. If one is reading this book for information or because one thinks he may have the syndrome, the contents do not sidestep the need for medical consultation as the first step in dealing with this condition. Several solutions are offered from over the counter medications to surgery. The information covers the many aspects of this health concern. Diet and exercise play an important part in one's ongoing efforts to minimize the unpleasant side effects that this form of hernia can cause. For one who does not enjoy elaborate recipes, despite their appetizing qualities, the recipes for a healthy diet are imaginative and supportive. Overall, a fine view of the many aspects of this condition."
