As you may have read in my story I have a Hiatus Hernia and used to suffer from extremely painful Acid Reflux. I tried lots of strategies and no longer suffer from it now.
I have listed below some ideas to complement your existing medication, if any. These are similar to the kinds of ideas for IBD which you will find in more detail in my IBD Booklet.
I hope they help.
