The hiatal hernia - acid reflux connection

Hi my friend,

One of the questions I get asked frequently is, "I have acid reflux due to a hiatal hernia. Can Great Taste No Pain help?"

My answer: Can water help put out a forest fire?

I'll explain further in a moment, but first let's talk about the hiatal hernia and acid reflux connection.

=====================================================
Here's what's going on when you have a hiatal hernia:
=====================================================

There's a wall of muscle in your abdomen called the diaphragm that looks like an open umbrella above your stomach. The diaphragm has a little hole in it and that's where your esophagus (food tube) passes through and connects to the stomach.

A hiatal hernia is when the top section of your stomach pushes up through that little hole in your diaphragm and bulges out.

Since the stomach is bulging out where it doesn't belong, the dam is weakened, so to speak. That makes it easier for undigested food and acid to leak back up into your esophagus after eating.

And voila--you get heartburn, belching, chest pain and nausea--all classic acid reflux symptoms.

Hiatal hernias occur when the muscle around that hole in your diaphragm becomes weak.

Many things can weaken the muscle--severe coughing, vomiting, pregnancy, straining (like you do when you are constipated), lifting heavy objects and most significantly, eating too much.

Yup--packing it away day in and day out literally makes your stomach burst on through your diaphragm because it's so stuffed and stretched beyond capacity.

Your stomach was designed to comfortably hold about a liter (about 4 cups) of food in a meal. So if you regularly eat more than that, you're stretching your
stomach and practically begging for a hiatal hernia.

================================
How Great Taste No Pain can help
================================

When you eat the way I teach in Great Taste No Pain, you get the benefit of all the nutrients from your food because they're not destroyed by overproduction of acid.

And when your body is nourished with nutrients, you don't feel hungry until you truly need more food. So you end up eating less, and therefore are less likely to create a hiatal hernia or aggravate an existing one.

When you eat badly combined meals, your food can sit in your stomach for 8 hours or more, while the stomach secretes acid over and over trying to digest it. As this is happening, the food isn't being digested like it should, there's a ton of excess acid in your stomach and there's nowhere for the food and acid to go except up, up, up.

And you get the three alarm acid reflux fire in your chest.

Great Taste No Pain shows you how to correctly combine your foods and eat mainly alkaline-rich foods to make digestion easy, comfortable and keep stomach acid at a minimum.

When you don't have overproduction of acid and food is digested quickly and easily like it should be, it's much less likely to come back up "over the dam" and into your throat.

Simple common sense.

So if you have acid reflux symptoms due to a hiatal hernia, don't think that somehow you're "different," or you have a "disease" or that drugs are your only answer.

Stop weakening the "dam" in your stomach; make your digestion a breeze, and your hiatal hernia (and acid reflux) symptoms will be a thing of the past.

Hi Sherry:

I have been using your system for about a month and I have gotten great results, believe me.

About eight years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and have been taking Prevacid, Asacol, and Gaviscon all these years. Also I was not able to eat many vegetables nor fruits because of the fiber.

My niece e-mailed me your information, so I decided right away to step in the train. Let me tell you I do not regret it. I have lost some weight, which I am very happy about, and have learned a lot about what foods to eat together. Your manual "What to Eat with What" has been very valuable.

The most exciting of all is that I am no longer taking Prevacid, Asacol or Gaviscon.

Thank you for your advice on how to be fit for life.

Carmen Martinez
