Re: HIATAL HERNIA/ACID REFLUX

I have the same problems, as well as upper rib pain. My hiatal was diagnosed using an endoscope. My gallbladder has been checked and found to be fine. Dr's keep telling me that my symptoms are unrelated, but can not find what is causing them. I fell the symptoms are related as I have talked to numerous people that have experienced the same problems. I am still waiting on one test (thyroid), which if high may be contributing to my symptoms. I do find relief with over the counter Mylanta Gas Tablets (must contain simethicone)
