What Causes Difficulty In Eating Post Hernia Surgery?

I had hiatal hernia surgery 2 years ago, since the healing period ended I can t eat without being sick. It feels like the food backs up to my throat. It happens 90% of the time at dinner, which means I don t eat. It seems to be less during the day. I seem to be sensitive to condiments, salad dressings, pickles, olives, grapes, apples and o and on. Never was before. Getting very old not being able to go to dinner with family and being sick all the time. If I get the me down then I end up gassy or having to head for the bathroom within 15 minutes. I ve had swallow tests, a scope down to my stomach. nothing

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
You didn't mention which type of hernia was that?


You need a repeat Gastroscopy, a barium swallow study and a Colonoscopy to see completely whats the reason. For that I suggest you to visit your Gastroentrologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Don't take it light. Follow it up timely.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
