I have suddenly felt what may appear to be a hiatal herna. kAt age 67 and having always eaten a very healthy diet it has surprised me that this has taken place. However, I have had a great deal of stress in my life, especially for a period of 6 years now, which has changed for the positive in the last several months. Meditation and spiritual practice I suspect will help aid my stress. The helpful hints you have pointed out in your article will also help, I am sure. Daily I have begun to bounce on a mini trampoline. Filling my stomach with water first is a great suggestion. Hanging from a door is a possibility, yet challenging. I am a small person, not overweight, yet not well toned as I have not exercised in a few years having fractured my collarbone and have been under chiropractor care for 18 months, weekly. The atrophied muscles and scar tissue have been slow to recover. Thank you for your helpful information. I also feel concern for my gallbladder, wondering if it is pushing up against my stomach causing this situation.
