Medical question?
A hiatal hernia is a hernia (protruding intestine) that has pushed through to another space. In your case it sounds to be someplace in either your upper stomach or esophagus. The erythema of the mucosa and antrum shows slight gastritis, which can easily be associated with the hernia and/or a desease called G.E.R.D..





Diet can help, but it is not cure.
Reply:well.....first thing is find another doc.........seems like you have


stomach reflux from the hernia...the esophagus can become erosive by the acid backup.......try over-counter prevasid or tagamet......also,you might need a blood test called H.pylori to check for a bacteria that can cause GERD..........good luck.......
