Nutrition for Hiatal Hernia

Dietary Principles:

 

*  Eat small meals frequently throughout day, increase foods rich in Vitamin A, such as yellow vegetables.

 

*  Do not go to sleep for at least 2 hours after eating. (It's     best to eat your heaviest meal before 5 p.m.) 

 

*  Sleep in a reclining position. (Simple Technique: Lie down on your back and place a large heavy book on your stomach,   then take full deep breaths in and out.  Do this for 15   minutes a day.)

 

*  This is a mechanical problem.

 

 

Foods to Avoid:

 

Meat, alcohol, hot sauces, spicy, fried, fatty, or salty foods, coffee, teas or cola that contain caffeine, sugar and sweets
