Inguinal Hernia: Interesting symptoms

Interesting! Can't say I've noticed any direct relationship to particular foods with mine (also inguinal), and in my case pain is more likely if hernia is out rather than in. Everyone's different! But I have noticed that keeping stools fairly loose and going to the loo frequently helps. I'd be interested if anyone else has food or bowel-related tips to keep pain at bay.

I did a Google search for "nuts abdominal pain" and found the following information:

The cause could be a nut allergy, gas from undigested material, or gall bladder

?"Pay attention to how soon your stomach starts to hurt after you eat nuts, and what else you ate along with them. If your stomach begins to bother you immediately, you may have a nut allergy. If it starts several hours later, when the food has had time to arrive in your lower intestine, then gas is more likely the culprit. If the pain happens when you eat a lot of food at once, particularly fatty foods like nuts, that could indicate a gall bladder problem."

?I am not a medical professional, but I'm going to go way out on a limb here and suggest that it might be the gas option.  My thinking is (and remember I'm not a medical professional) is that the gas would probably distend the intestines, and this might act to pull your hernia back inside.

?The web site urged anyone with the symptoms you have to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis, and I agree wholeheartedly with that.

?Good luck. 

I had an inguinal hernia and I never felt any pain  either, There finally became a time, maybe after 8 or 9 years, the hernia wouldn't stay in at all, it still didn't hurt except maybe after I'd be on my feet all day, without much chance to sit down. I also had upper digestive tract issues, but those were unrelated after they did an endoscopy.

Hi I have a hernia gram booked for Friday for a possible Femoral hernia. I have been experiencing low left abdomen pain and pains around belly button since being admitted to A&E in August with severe groin and abdomen pain. It started after a very painful bowel movement. My hernia was out and extremely tender. After several hours the hernia reduced and an X-ray showed all ok. I have had the hernia for over ten years and it has always been visible and sometimes out but never any pain. Since my hospital admission it is completely in and not visible, but now in pain everyday as mentioned above. I believe these symptoms to be related, so would really appreciate any advice on similar experiences or bowel related hernia problems. I don't know if certain foods irritate it, but I will observe what I eat.

 I have a MRI and CT scan that show a hernia but the surgeon won't operate as says these are unreliable and no bulge is present!

thanks
