Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has a hiatel hernia and GERD. He had a flare up of the hiatel hernia 3 weeks ago, since then he cannot eat anything except rice, cream soups, gluten free crackers , boiled chicken, deli turkey, apples. He has lost 14 lbs. and tried some salad with pain the next day. He takes nexium, pepcid at night, tums and gaviscon. He has a PCP appt. Fri. I think he needs an endoscopy to see if there is an ulcer or irritation. What do you think?
