Hello everyone, I wanted to help bringing my experience.

Sofro reflux from four years 2 months and 20 days. Why are so accurate? It is not a joke, this disease I was almost destroyed both psychologically and physically, and it is normal that wants to remember when this slaughterhouse is started. For the first two years my chest pains, evil, tiredness and lack of breathing, were confused with many other serious diseases, certainly more gastric reflux, but nonetheless I can't feel lucky since for two years I swallow drugs of all kinds to cure these diseases do not exist. However, after about two years a scientist "any" suggested a gastric reflux and advised me a gastroscopy. From this memento in then I touched bottom. After a gastroscopy not difficult it painful, I was diagnosed with only a slight gastritis, so not too notable curable with a slight diet (which caz ... means light?). Since the chest pains intansita ' increments and excluded the heart and stomach, a luminary of Orthopaedics you invented that pain in the chest was due to a rib lussata and that was very clear from rx chest. Friends I am an electronic and does not understand anything of Anatomy but believe me a posteriori vi possso say that the plate was perfect and the ribs were all in their place. Pultroppo at the time I was scared and naive and I accepted to undergo therapy farmacologgica of inflammation of the steroid type. I can not even understand how much pain I had after ten days of treatment. Finally after many visits to the emergency room, someone must have had more trouble brain and advised me to consider making an umpteenth gastroscopy to search for a phantom hiatal. Of course I volunteered to gastro esophageal motility study, then in succession and ph obstructions 24 h. hiatal Outcome of 4 cm. For about a year I followed a strict diet and mandatory medication, composed in alternation of all medications that I could read in this forum.

Hello everyone my name is Max, I 33 years and in December last year I started to suffer of classic symptoms of hernia. gastroscopy revealed esophagitis degree, reflux, hernia and presence of an island of gastric mucosa in the esophagus; the doctor while borbottava the Assistant the termed a "barrettino". During this time I started treatment with IPP, I avoided the foods that cause reflux and I went on a diet to lose 10 kg. Yesterday I redid gastroscopy and hernia there was more, everything is back in standard esophagus including. I wanted to ask if in some cases herniation can regress and if in my case it was Barrett's esophagus, or something else since I seemed to have read that Barrett's esophagus is after years and years of esophagitis.

Metodo alternativo per curare il reflusso

Hiatal Hernia: An Overlooked Cause of Disease
By: Steven H. Horne
About three years ago Jack Ritchason, a naturopathic physician, corrected a health problem I must have carried since childhood--a hiatal hernia. The impact this simple maneuver has had on my health has amazed me. I immediately noticed a difference in my lung capacity and my digestion and in the months that followed I began to put some muscle on my skin and bones frame and gain newfound strength and stamina.
Dr. Ritchason tells me that this is a common health problem and my own observations as well as those of others confirm this fact. But this is more than a personal observation as the American Digestive Disease Society has estimated that nearly half of all adults--some 60 million people--have a hiatal hernia.
It occurs more often in women than in men. It affects people of all ages, but is most prevalent in people over 50 and highly likely in people over 65.
The Great MimicHiatal Hernia has been called the "great mimic" because it mimics many disorders. A person with this problem can get such severe pains in their chest that they think they are having a heart attack. They may think they have an over acid stomach because they will regurgitate stomach acid after they eat, or their stomach may hurt so badly they will think they have an ulcer. This is just a sampling of the symptoms that may occur from this disorder.
What is a Hiatal Hernia?
When you swallow, your food passes down a long tube known as the esophagus into the stomach. This tube must pass through a muscle known as the diaphragm, which is located near the bottom of your rib cage. This opening in the diaphragm, which permits the esophogus to pass through, is regulated by a sphincter muscle (or "valve") which relaxes and opens when we swallow to permit the food to pass through the diaphram and into the stomach. This sphincter then closes to prevent stomach acid from coming back up into the throat. A hiatal hernia occurs when the top of the stomach rolls or slides up into this opening and becomes stuck there.
Symptoms
Naturally, when part of the stomach is forced into this opening, the sphincter cannot close properly. Thus, stomach acid may travel back up into the esophagus causing burning sensations (heartburn), esophageal spasms, inflammations and ulcers.
The cramped position of the stomach can also stress the vagus nerve, which stimulates the release of hydrochloric acid. This can cause both over and under secretion of hydrochloric acid and stomach enzymes. It may also affect the sphincter or valve at the bottom of the stomach so that digestive secretions "leak" out of the stomach and are lost before they have completed their job.
The hiatal hernia will also interfere with the movement of the diaphragm muscle. This muscle normally pulls downward to expand the chest capacity and inflate the lungs. Since the hiatal hernia interferes with this movement, the person may be restricted to shallow breathing, or will resort to using the chest and shoulders to expand the lung capacity and take a deep breath.
The esophagus may also "kink" in the throat, which will irritate the thyroid gland and may cause some difficulty in swallowing. Often persons with hiatal hernias will have difficulty in swallowing capsules or tablets as they get the sensation that they are "sticking" in their throat.
The irritation on the vagus nerve can cause reflex irritations throughout the body. The vagus nerve comes from the medulla and goes to the heart, esophagus, lungs, stomach, small intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas and colon. It also hass links to the kidney, bladder, and external genitalia. Thus, a hiatal hernia may start imbalances in the system such as decreased stomach acid and ph imbalance in the intestines and elsewhere.
If a person develops poor stomach digestion due to a lack of hydrocholoric acid, they will have difficulty digesting and assimilating protein and most minerals. It will also contribute to food putrefacation in the intestines, causing greater toxicity in the body. This lack of nutrition and toxic condition may contribute towards food allergies, constipation, anemia and immune and glandular system weaknesses.
Two other problems that a hiatal hernia may contribute to are asthma and heart disease. Since the hernia reduces the lung capacity by interfering with natural breathing, it could be a factor in asthma. The hernia may also put pressure on the heart. Gas in the intestines may put pressure on the hernia and push it against the bottom of the heart, which may be one way in which a heart attack can be triggered. None of this spells immediate fatality, but it does point to a major contributing factor in degenerative illness.
Causes
The causes of a hiatal hernia are speculative and unique to each individual. However, there are a number causes. First of all there may be a mechanical cause. Improper lifting, hard coughing bouts heavy lifting, sharp blows to the abdomen (the kind that "knock the wind out of you"), tight clothing and poor posture may contribute to the development of this problem. Improper lifting may be the biggest mechanical cause of this disorder. If the air is not expelled out of a person's lungs while lifting, it will force the stomach into the esophagus.
Secondly, there are dietary causes. Hiatal hernia just about always accompnies a swollen ileocecal valve. The ileocecal valve is the valve between the small and large intestines which permits material to enter the colon from the large intestine, but prevents material in the colon from moving back into the small intestine. When this valve becomes swollen and irritated it cannot close properly. This allows material from the colon to leak back into the small intestine. This is analogous your sewer backing up into your kitchen. This creates gas and indigestion, which puts pressure on the stomach and presses it tighter against the diaphram.
The relationship between the ileocecal valve and the hiatal hernia is a chicken/egg situation ... it is hard to know which comes first. However, it is clear that the ileocecal problem aggravates the hernia. Hence, the things which irritate that valve may be causal factors. These are the basic causes of digestive problems: poor food combining, overeating, drinking with meals, overeating and eating when upset.
Lastly, there are emotional causes. According to one applied kinesiologist text a hiatal hernia comes from repressed anger. A person "swallows their anger" and "can't stomach it." When you get angry, you suck your beadth upward. If you fail to release this anger, your stomach stays up. I have observed that most of the people with severe hiatal hernias have a great deal of emotional stress and hold a lot of it inside.
Identification
The easiest way to tell if you or someone you know has a hiatal hernia is to place your fingers on the solar Plexus, just below the breastbone. Then take a deep breath. You should feel the solar plexus expand and move outward. If there is no movement at the solar plexus and you have to lift your chest and shoulders to take a deep breath, then you probably have a hiatal hernia. You should be able to take a deep abdominal breath without lifting your shoulders.
There are other, more complicated, methods of determining if you have a hiatal hernia, such as muscle testing, but this is a fairly simple and reliable method.
Correction
Since a hiatal hernia is primarily a mechanical problem, the easiest and best way to correct it is mechanically. Medical doctors have attempted surgery to correct this disorder, but the results tend to be poor. Cutting into this area can further weaken it so that the hernia will return in short order. A better method is to manipulate the stomach and bring down the hernia by hand. Unfortunately, you can't do this to yourself. You will need to find a good chiropractor, applied kinesiologist or massage therapist who understands this problems and knows how to correct it.
If you want to learn how to do this adjustment to others, you will have to find someone who does it and have them show you how since it is impossible to adequately describe the technique(s) in writing. They have to be learned through demonstration and practice.
For a chiropractor in your area who knows how to adjust hiatal hernias, click here.
Self-Adjustment
There are some self-help adjustment techniques. They aren't as effective as having someone else perform the adjustment, but they may help. The best one I've tried is to drink a pint of warm water first thing in the morning, then stand on your toes and drop suddenly to your heels several times. The warm water helps to relax the stomach and diaphragm and puts some weight in the stomach. By dropping down suddenly, the weight of the water helps to pull the stomach down. In a mild case, this might be enough to bring the hernia down. In a more severe case it may loosen the stomach and make it easier for someone else to bring it down. It will also help you to keep the stomach down once mechanical corrections have been made.
Nutrititional Aids
Until the problem is corrected mechanically, there are some nutritional therapies which may be of help. Immediate, but temporary, relief of pain and discomfort can often be achieved by the use of a mucilaginous herb like slippery elm or comfrey. These herbs absorb the digestive secretions and help to prevent their traveling back up the esophagus and burning it. They also help to prevent irritation of the ileocecal valve. Comfrey can also speed the healing of this problem once mechanical adjustments have been made. Okra pepsin is a good combination for this problem as well.
Marshmallow is also helpful in soothing the mucous membranes for hiatal hernias and other ulcerations in the gastrointestinal system.
A digestive aid will help the person obtain the nutrients they need when the hernia is interfering with digestion.
This may take the form of a hydrochloric acid supplement or a food enzyme tablet, or perhaps an herbal digestive aid such as papaya and peppermint, chamomile tea, safflowers, ginger root and so forth.
Other food or herb products that have been used to help people with hiatal hernias include: raw cabbage juice (where ulcerations have occurred), balm, barley water, brown rice, celery, coriander, gentian, hops, licorice, marshmallow and passion flower.
Dietary modifications may be necessary to relieve the problem and to keep it from reoccurring once it has been corrected. Since the pressure of abdominal gas can push the stomach upward, it would be advisable to avoid gas forming foods like beans. It would also be wise to watch food combinations carefully and to avoid overeating. Dr. Jack Ritchason recommends that people with hiatal hernias avoid eating any heavy meals after 3 pm.
Below you will find a checklist of symptoms which will help you in identifying people who have this problem so they can take steps to correct it.
Symptoms of a Hiatal Hernia
What is a Hitatal Hernia?
A hiatal hernia occurs when the top of the stomach rolls or slides up into the opening in the diaphragm which the esophogus passes through and becomes stuck there.
This condition may create difficulty with digestion (and hence general nutrition and well-being) as well as breathing difficulties, nervous problems, circulatory problems and glandular imbalances. All of the following symptoms have been connected with a hiatal hernia. If you have some of these symptoms especially those marked with an asterisk (

Natural remedies/how to massage

Apply this procedure every morning for at least a month odue for ernie there for long periods. The first two steps are optional. (I use the hot water). This procedure should be applied every time the stomach is not a place, but the best results are achieved if it is done on an empty stomach.

1. Five minutes before the procedure take 15-20 drops of "lobelia essence" and "stress-J liquid" in hot water to relax the diaphragm and the vagus nerve.
Catch daily magnesium to help the relaxation of the muscles.

2. Smooth with oil "Tei Was" o essential oil of lavender, Chamomile or stomach area before the procedure. (I just massage even if you do not have these oils)

3. Relax to belly up on a hard surface or on the floor. Take a deep breath and remember the feeling.(after the procedure, you will be able to breathe deeper and more easily).

4. Place both hands under the sternum. The palms facing the body and fingers touch each other so that the thumbs meet just below the breastbone.(bear in mind that you have to press with the thumbs below the breastbone)

5. take a deep breath and just exhale slowly and with force, press your thumbs in and push down about 5 cmwith strong pressure. Do not release their hands or the pressure at the end of the breath.

6. maintain constant pressure with your thumbs, taking another breath and repeat the steps until you reach pushing down almost to the heel. This happens in about 3-5 breaths.

7. keep the left thumb in this position and move the right thumb in order to close the valve ileocecale. The valve is situated so.Line joining navel and the upper hip right. This line is parallel to the floor.Take the center of this line and go down about 5 cm. This is the point of the valve.This valve must be closed.

8. With the left thumb firm where he was before keeping pressure, the right thumb applies pressure to the ileocaecal valve inside (press) and upwards towards the stomach.keep this pressure for 30 seconds.Release with ul slow massage.

9. repeat the entire procedure (step 4-8) three times.Take a deep breath and see how much better you feel.

10. to avoid pressure on the stomach, don't stand up, but rolled on its side and get seating using arms rather than the abdominal muscles. Published daA.Z. a01.38

Allarme depressione in Italia

ROME-depression is becoming a global problem, and the data seem to confirm this: Italian suffers one and a half million people, many older people, but especially women, representing two thirds of the sick. Not only that: a depressed on two threatens a relapse within a few years. Symptoms, causes, consequences of ' evil dark ' discuss these days experts gathered in Toronto to the American Psychiatric Association. Faced with these figures, everyone agrees: we must change the rules of the cure. Also because, according to the World Health Organization, by 2020 depression will be the most widespread disorder after cardiovascular diseases. To begin with, say the psychiatrists, depression should be diagnosed and addressed early therapies before it becomes chronic. "A cure inappropriate-maximum Giannantonio, says University of Chieti-threatens to make only a ' rinsing ' symptoms. On the contrary, proper treatment is the only way to avoid dangerous repercussions ".

Better control of symptoms from GERD

A studio still in progress, from pre-released results

The degree of satisfaction of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease) would be significantly greater after surgery for via laparoscopic than during Proton pump inhibitors (PPIS).
Dr. Michael Anvari and coll.(McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) have randomized 104 patients with GERD (average age of 42 years) from Nissen fundoplication second Nissen for via laparoscopic or optimal treatment with IPP.Researchers at Digestive Disease Week 2006 reported obtained much better in the first group patients.
The criteria for recruitment to the study predicted the presence of GERD for at least 2 years, treatment with IPP for at least a year with a satisfactory control of symptoms (defined by a score 4% off-therapy.
Prior to randomisation patients had suspended the recruitment of all drugs.The initial score to the global Rating scales (GRS) was approximately 82, GERD score around 30 and the percentage of reflux in 24 hours around 10% for all patients who had suspended the therapy.
During the follow-up you've missed 6 patients. One year, patients with IPP had an average score of 73,3 to GRS score, a GERD score of 12,82 and a gastric reflux of 5,44%.The corresponding values in patients were 8.46 was 90.2, and 1.50%.
Dr. Anvari acknowledged that the data reported by patients are a subjective information, but said "doubting that a placebo effect may last several years".He also claimed that the surgical procedure has a little morbidity, and needs a "learning curve". In its Centre, however, "the success of the methodology is becoming less operator-dependent".
Fourteen of the patients they recur, easily controlled by resuming the pharmacological treatment with IPP. "Are provisional data, the study is still ongoing "has finally remembered at Dr.Anvari."and it is too early to draw conclusions in the long term for a therapeutic approach rather than to another".

L’intervento chirurgico

Reflusso gastroesofageo, nuova tecnica endoscopica

Developing a new endoscopic technique for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease apparently widespread, certainly at the Centre of a vast market. The surgery was performed successfully by a multidisciplinary team comprising Riccardo Rosati, responsible for the operational unit of general surgery and Mini-Invasive Humanitas Clinical Institute in Rozzano (Milan), and by Alexander Repici, head of Digestive endoscopy under Division of Gastroenterology of the same Institute.
Now with this new technique were treated 20 cases in the world, all in Belgium at the Hôpital St. Pierre in Brussels, with very encouraging results both short (excellent tolerance and total absence of complications) both in the medium term (80-85% of patients in good condition with no need to take medication).
"Correcting altered features of Cardia, valve that connects the esophagus and stomach", explain Riccardo Rosati and Alessandro Repici, "occurs through an innovative device introduced orally under endoscopic Guide. The shape-to-tail shrimp its final part, that allows him to turn around at 90 °, enables plastic back to 270 ° through a system of retraction of gastric wall (helical retraktor) and the placement of polypropylene sutures that weld oesophagus and stomach by rebuilding the natural barrier anti-reflux similarly to surgery. The results are in fact entirely comparable to those obtained with plastic back second ' Thomert ', the surgical technique which is most widely used in France. The procedure, for now performed under general anaesthetic, lasts approximately one hour.Thanks to its minimally invasive allows the patient an immediate recovery.If the results in the medium and long term positive continue in the future this methodical will surely be applied with indications that exceed the surgery, which still maintains a role of first choice especially for patients with hernia and/or Barrett's esophagus: when this device is still being tested, and is the subject of a multicenter study involving over to Italy, France and Belgium ".
This new technique, in patients with the correct signs-for example, in the absence of a hiatus hernia very voluminous-allows to avoid intervention more invasive or a drug therapy for life, which currently represent the standard of care of reflux.
The gastroesophageal reflux disease is a chronic relapsing, whose symptoms (heartburn or behind the sternum, acidity, regurgitation, sense of digestion slow and tiring) have a negative impact on quality of life of the patient. Poorly cared for, in addition, this disease is one of the major risk factors for the development of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. Learn to recognize the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux is therefore very important to contact your doctor immediately and begin a treatment fit.
Beyond the new endoscopic are today two methodologies proven care: medical therapy or surgery.The first is based on the assumption of drugs that prevent the production of gastric acid level, thus depriving the material back into the esophagus of harmful properties for the esophageal mucosa.The intervention of "laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication" instead, aims to rebuild the natural barrier anti-reflux Cardia level.Source: Press Office Humanitas Clinical Institute 2006.

1) massage chiropractors can revert herniae back and let the entire stomach. 2) most of the "owners" of hiatus hernia and is completely asymptomatic. 3) most of those who find the right balance between IPP and its symptoms can life take on IPP (free) and without contraindications dangerous without having more symptoms ne ' typical ne ' atypical. 4) The buteyko is another technique recognized (even here on the Forum, just read) that makes harmless herniae. 5) pantoprazole, for example, is ejected via hepatic. 6) did not die of HERNIA! One can die of cancer to the esophagus, but is not the fault of hernia and IPPs cancel this risk. just read the other 100 pages to have high dozens of responses as you can, then, ethically, recommend a blindfold operation? Everyone has his physique with its physical and psychological problems, and its symptoms more or less debilitating. However, only if all of the techniques described are unsuccessful (and there are other) then it may make sense to do the operation (always you physically debilitating symptoms or socially), otherwise I do not understand the pleasure of risking their lives to then, with all odds have recurrences within 5 or 10 years (to be no more operable, the 2nd hernia operation not Meditate is).. repeat, then do as you like.But an operation it is always a risk to life, even the appendicectomy.

The device looks like a bracelet made from titanium rings, biocompatible material "and resistant to gastric acid attack. "These rings contain small magnets-adds the surgeon-that depending on the pressure ulcer attract or repel.
