Any ideas please on how to improve digestive. Unfortunately I suffer with acid reflux and I also have?

an hiatus hernia both of which causes really bad indigestion even though I take prescription drugs to combat this but neither works. I had not been offered corrective surgery to repair the hernia and I doubt I ever will.

I would appreciate it if someone could recommend something that would break the food down thus preventing much of discomfort. I do chew my food as much as possible.

I follow all the recommendations like raising my bed at one end; Wearing of loose clothing and all the normal precautions.
Michele I cannot take Reglan as I used to suffer with PTSS.

I would go back to your doctor and explain that the medication you are taking is not working, he wont know unless you tell him and there is more than one drug available to help with your problems.

    I’m surprised you haven’t been offered a surgical solution. You should seek a 2nd opinion from a gastroenterologist. You shouldn’t have to suffer with this. You could see if your doctor will start you on Reglan 1-3 times a day. It’s an anti-nausea medication, but it increases peristalsis in the intestines so it moves food through more quickly. Good luck!
