Hiatal Hernia

But now with sugar-free Tums, I don't have to worry about needing to take it, especially since it's the only antacid that seems to help (that and Zantac at night).
Thanks, Atrsy!

Hi Deb,Have your seen a doctor about your reflux. It can be controlled these days. I took Zantec for years. I have no valve, yes, no valve at the top of my stomach. The only way to fix it is by breaking your ribs and going in surgically. UGGGHH. However, there is a new procedure done by arthroscopic surgery but it isn't perfect yet. My valve broke having a baby which is very coman. Ask your doctor for Nexium, best thing every happened to me. 1 in the morning on an empty stomach and that's it. I once had so much pain my friend took me to emerg thinking I was having a heart attack. Agony. Nexium is great. Good luck, Nancy
