I had a Gastroscopy yesterday which revealed a large Hiatus Hernia and severe Gastritis. I will not get the full results of the biopsies/CT scan for a few weeks and am seeing my doctor today to get some PPI medication. I have been feeling unwell for months and am relieved that something has been found and hopefully can be sorted. I would like some advice in thre meantime about what to eat/drink and thinks to avoid. Can I have peppermint tea as I find this really helps but read an article that said this was something to avoid. Many thanks

    Hi Dee. Everyone finds that they need to find out by trial and error it seems to me because wwhat works for one, may not work for others. At the moment I find that post surgery, coffee doesnt agree with me however before surgery I was ok with coffee! I have also found that LightRye bread is gentle on my digestive system but I cannot eat pastries. A Dietician may be able to help! Good luck and I hope all goes well for you!
