Hi. I have a hiatus hernia and it feels like the bottom of my esophagus is either inflammed or ulcerated. I have tried various antacids but I've come to the conclusion that they are actually making it worse. I am currently not getting acid reflux...I just need to heal the inflammation. I believe that I am low in stomach acid which probably contributed to me getting a HH in the first place. In desperation I did some internet research into aluminium hydroxide and discovered that it is only absorbable in strong acid. If a person has low stomach acid it seems possible that it is hindering recovery rather than helping. Has anybody else in this forum had a similar problem? I didn't take any after my last meal and feel better for it.

not irritate the throat nor linning with anything that you know by experience gives you problems..REGARDLESS///.elevate your head night time...rice pillow? My take is keeping the throat from irritants, thus allowing it to heal. No meds or supplements ever helped us....possibly with the exception of Bromalain/Natto. WE avoided aluminium hydroxide and similar....I'd suggest bismuth but very careful administration...of any anti acid....you need acid to sterialize food for digestion...once the chime has departed the stomach...bismuth tablet 262mg...and 1/2 tab pre bedtime. This is a guess, as I have no credentials...wish you the best..keep us posted...claudio

it was then I was offered LINX, just before the op I was informed that of my easophogus was too badly inflamed they would have to do the Nissen instead. I told them no way ! I've heard too many night are tales about this procedure. Thankfully when I came out of theatre I was told it wasn't too inflamed to the extent they could t do LINX so all went well.
