My mum has a sliding hiatus earnia. She is 93 years of age and sometimes she can eat the things that anyone else eats with no bad effects . Other times it doesn't matter how careful we are and it effects her badly.

   Any one have any advice

    Hi Janice, I am just the same, I seem to have flare ups that are very painful when they happen, then other times where I am fine. Having flare up at present and top of chest hurts and dare not eat anything!

    hope your mum manges it ok.

      Hi Bruiser, not no any meds, do get lightheaded ness if have trapped wind.

      are you on meds?

      had a three month course of them around 4 years ago when had gastris, and they worked as no trouble for some time after. I do get flare ups though if have been very stressed and or eat anything too rich such as cheeses cream etc,then it takes time to settle down again, gives me pain and makes me feel lethargic.

      been taking aloe Vera juice and pro bio tics to help settle it down.

    You would have to google it but there is a proceedure you can do at home that is supposed to slip it back into place.

      Dear Carmel, did google this and suggesttion was to drink three glasses of warm water in order to add weight into the stomach then fall to knees and try to stop yourself several times, another suggests rising into heels and then back down onto flat feet several times. Is this what you found. The concept is for it to fall back into place.

    Hi Janice do you know roughly what the procedure is please, saw the one where you drink pint warm water then go on tip toes then flat on feet again a few times. Have you heard of others or can you suggest where you have seen this information ?

    many thanks
