@@JohnLeafwhy? It’s her channel. I found the details helpful.
I’ve subconsciously sucked my belly in my entire life, now that I know I have a hiatal hernia, this makes so much sense. Feels so foreign to just let my belly out. Wow thank you.
I do the same with my belly but i don't know why, i have to think to let belly loose and breath into chest more
Same
I’ve come to the same conclusion and have made the same connections and have been doing this exercise by my own journey with a hiatal hernia. It’s crazy how when we pay attention to our body, it will tell us the same thing. This validates my intuition.
So we're u able to reverse it
@@randomchubbygirl I’ve only been able to manage it. When I start getting pain or discomfort I immediately start doing diaphragmatic breathing and the pain starts to subside.
I really appreciate her entire story and not just fast forwarding to the actual exercise.
Your videos and excercises have helped me so much! The burning irritation in my throat from GERD / acid reflux has greatly subsided... Doctors gave me prescriptions for Pantoprazole 40mg tablets 2X daily plus Sucralfate 1GM tab 2X daily, plus he just prescribed me one more medication for acid reflux. None of these prescriptions were helping... It felt like I was breathing through a straw while gurgling mucus with acid for hours at a time... this feeling of not being able to breathe well was causing me anxiety and every time I ate the burning would get worse again. The anxiety was probably making me produce more acid making matters worse. I have gone from 240lbs down to 190lbs in the last 6 months from Gerd and didn't know what was wrong... Now after doing these excercises (only for 4 days but I noticed relief immediately) I can breathe comfortably again!. Thank you so much. You may have literally saved my life.
I looked at a video from a surgeon from USA Harvard John Hopkins who operated using four incisions… supplemented by a dissolvable “ mesh “ … bottom line was he said there was 40%, failure rate , but that failure rate was less with him. I have, yes, very swollen upper abdomen.
The specialist that did the colonoscopy and gastroscopy and found the hiatal hernia and said that surgery was unlikely to “ deliver” . Listening to you , in summary, I have the same issues. I think anxiety over 40 years caused very severe abdominal tension over the years, neck and head tension, and of course constitution .
Apparently there is very significant relief and if 60% success rate is true, using your advice , it
The hernia might not return. I will talk to my gap too next week
Thanks Terry
This comment helped me feel better like someone else knew what I had experienced with GERD. Thanks for posting it here and for also giving hope that it can get better.
How are you doing now friend?
I been struggling with this for over a year now. Hopefully this will help me :)
How are you now
I HAVE been burping my brains out for about a year and a half. I've seen a few doctors..had tests run.. and nobody has figured out what you just showed me. The simple stomach exercise brought me Immediate relief. MANY thanks !!
Has it given you long term relief?
I’m in the same boat as you. Did this help you? Did you take her course?
Me 2.. my doctor doesn't give a crap.. so I'm trying 2 help myself..I can feel the bulge between my lower breast bone.. the doctor said I just had gastritis.
@@marybell9358 That sounds like a hiatal hernia. You need to see a gastroenterologist. And if he’s the one that told you it’s gastritis, you need to find a new doctor!
@@denised3681 😂😂.. Absolutely.. he had very bad reviews from other patients.. I can feel the hernia, and actually am scheduled 2 see another doctor..
I want to thank you. I’ve had this my whole life, but was recently diagnosed. I wasn’t given any exercises and I am so tired of being uncomfortable. I am very excited to order your course. I wanted to note here for other users, that relaxing the back of my tongue has made it so much easier to relax my abs.
Dude I have been noticing I hold my tongue up against the roof of my mouth like all the time. My poor body is always tense. Lifetime of trauma and poor habits has led me to this video lmao
@@Sarahizahhsum yes me too! I do that all the time, grind my teeth sometimes, clench my fists, tongue to the roof of the mouth. My body is always tense for some reason ha.
Hi just wondering how you got on with this course
@@bassfishingireland I never ordered it. I found a Chinese practice of standing on your toes in the morning and dropping your heels 50 times. I do this, try to remember to keep my tongue relaxes when I notice it isn’t, and I eat smaller portions very slowly.
I also stopped eating potatoes and cut down on pastas.
Together this has all worked well for me, though I would still like to order the program. I just can’t find the money. I hope you are feeling better soon.
@@Sarahizahhsum Same for me. Grinding teeth and clenched jaw since childhood. Lifetime of ptsd. Patrick Tehan channel here has been very helpful for me in that as well.
Pam, what I really love about you is, you make me feel so much calmer. Thank you. Bless you ❤️
Dear Pam, you changed my life, no more ppi since i started watching your breathing techniques ❤❤❤❤❤
Really? What strengh ppi were you on? Did you taper of slow?
Thank you very much for your video! What I can share about this issue is I have GERD for about 15 years since I was in university. I recently noticed it mostly comes from not listening to our body! I sit for too long, which makes pressure on the stomach and as I was pretty anxious, I would also be pulling in my abs unconsciously. I have to say, I lived in Taiwan and learnt Qigong there which helped me a lot to become aware of my body and its signals. For me the answer is really "listening to our body". When I do it, relax and don't sit too long, walk around, almost all the symptoms disappear.
Marion BATARD hello, do you only suffer from GERD ? Do you have a hiatal hernia ? 15 years wow, how have you managed
I get dizzy walking around. Am very new to this condition. I'll try my best.
I can't sit long time at all,it presses on my tummy severely ,I either walk or lie down
Watch out she just wants to make money 💰💰💰💰
Love that wicked cool midmod decor, especially the clock. Great vid, too ❤
There is a much easier way. Just drink a couple glasses of water and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position.
Forty years ago, I did an activity which forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. It was a couple months later that I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. It was a couple of years of misery before I realized that the doctor was wrong and I had gastric reflux disease, or GERD. Often, GERD happens naturally without a clear cause. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm sphincter muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the sphincter muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD.
Other people suggest drinking warm or hot water to relax the muscles, I would suggest cold water so the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the water won’t affect the digestion process on other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now. I later learns of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also.
The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to specifically separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed into the blood stream in the intestines for use by the human body. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing.
My chiro also said cold water
Won't the water dilute the acid too
What if I have weak stomach acid?
Thank you.
For all you said here🎉
@@dalerohling5989HCL supplenents are useful for that.
Oh my gosh Pam, this is amazing! I am so glad I found you here! I started dealing with acid reflux in January of this year, about six months ago, and I couldn’t understand why it was happening. Then a friend of mine asked me if my chiropractor was treating me for a hiatal hernia each time I went, which is usually once a week because I have scoliosis. I told him I didn’t even know what that was. The long and short of it is I found out that if you have scoliosis, and you’re getting up in years like I am, I am 56, is it reflux and a hiatal hernia can happen.
You are the only person I have seen explain that you could be pushing your stomach up if you are holding in your core, which is some thing I have done for decades. Just letting my stomach out felt very strange, because it looks like I have a little gut now. LOL! I started taking Betaine HCL with pepsin pills, along with digestive enzymes, and that helps a lot. But sometimes it doesn’t totally help. But one night I went to a very nice steakhouse and realized I forgot my pills, so I pushed my stomach down for a while before I ate, and I had absolutely no problem eating a very large and fatty ribeye.
After watching this video, I realized that I need to buy your course, and I need to stop holding my core in, because it’s pushing my stomach up!
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I subscribed to your channel here so I can learn more from you! Thank you so much, my soul sister! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🧡🧡🧡

@@marienovak3663 🤫 Shh… Relax…
@@marienovak3663you’re an odd kinda troll.
Thank you! You confirmed everything that I was thinking. I have always held my abdomen and because I was taught in sports that muscles have memory. It dawned on me a short time ago that maybe this weird feeling like my stomach is coming through that little hole of muscles above my navel and my midsection is actually me pushing it up there. I'm definitely going to relax now. Thank you again!
are you still relaxed ?
Thank you for being here on TH-cam. Your holistic approach is what I was looking for.
So glad I found this channel! Praying it helps with my symptoms. Just took the quiz on your website.
Can I have the link to the test?
How is your hiatus hernia now ?
I've had two surgeries to try and correct my hernia sadly both failed. I've learned to listen to my body and move in whatever weird little position it needs me to move to. I've definitely noticed when my emotions get high (Happy, mad, sad, whatever extra stresser my hernia kicks off almost instantly) I love to sing myself and use that to gently work out my diaphragm a few times a week.
I was thinking of having the surgery but I’m worried its not gonna help. Is it a difficult operation?
Also why have they failed for you? Is it really that difficult to correct the hernia?
@@kamileeM It took them almost 6 years to find it, four more years before my insurance would pay for the surgery. By that time my hernia had ripped my diaphragm almost entirely open . My surgeon said in his 30 years of practice he had only seen 1 hernia in his life worse then mine.
@@windelynndarling6499 Can I ask how was your pain usually like? Because I live with chest pain on my left side and sometimes it spreads down to the lower abdomen and even belly button is sore when I press.
The pain happens out of nowhere and I also need to adjust my position at the moment, sometimes it requires sitting, sometimes to stand up, remove my bra, grab my left side or just burp.
I am an engineer and understand mechanics and I think you have it 100% correct, everything you say makes sense. So I will give it a try and report back, beacuse I have heart condition which has led to gastrocardiac sydrome, very scary. My HH came fro the coughing from cronic acute bronchitis. Thank you very much for your help.
One thing you should add, or at least think about, is to suggest others get a decent fireside chair to improve posture. Reason being is that older people spend time watching TV and bad posture develops while relaxing.

@@riteasrain Thanks... she's just yammering.
Right!!! She’s annoying
The introduction is very important for those who are in shock or unknowing of their hernia.
6:34 oh my god this is such a relief, I do the exact same thing ALL of the time, it was getting so bad as of late that the nausea would be unbearable. I instinctively flex my abdominal muscles, around my stomach, all the time. For no specific reason it's just my resting state (Which is funny, since it wouldn't be resting). And moreso when I felt the nausea kick in, which naturally made the nausea worse since I was flexing my abs putting more stress and pressure on my stomach. I also found laying flat on my back would almost immediately help with the nausea and discomfort, which to my understanding is because in a prone position on my back my stomach muscles wouldn't be in a position in which I can flex it without active thought to flex them. Coupling this with the breathing exercises you mentioned worked great. I just need to remember to stop flexing my stomach all the time.
i get nausea, and excessive acid production, pain, sinus pain, IBS cramping, etc etc.
i could use a year on a different planet.
Hi Pam, thank you for you vlogs . I been dealing with my hiatal hernia for many yrs . Thanks for sharing it is very informative. I am tired seeing doctors same answers. God bless 😍
Thank you so much fer your helpful videos on hiatal hernia and GERD. I have found your advice to be incredibly insightful and helpful in relieving my symptoms. I appreciate all the hard work you do to provide us with the best care and education. Thank you!
SLOW EATING is a must when it comes to GERD and hiatal hernia symptoms!!!! I've been eating real fast all my life and now I'm paying the price the hard way.....I find it really hard to pace myself but I make it a point now to chew slowly and put my fork down after each bite.....
That may be helpful but it doesn't really address the cause, which could be actual physical displacement of the stomach or weakness of muscles.
I used to think I was having a heart attack cause the food would get stuck lolol. I suffer from bad lpr now
@vince cent hi there! I've learned to live with it and try not to exacerbate the situation with small meals, slow eating and deep breathing. I don't think it will ever go away but at least it doesn't get any worse... 🙂
@@w1975b true, but it helps to not make it worse!

Yup when I go to my chiropractor for him to adjust my stomach he’s always like what did you get upset about ??
I can’t believe it! You have my grandmother’s kitchen table! 😃
I go into crisis with severe heart palpitations (130 +bmp)and high blood pressure 140/90. It's very scary feeling like a heart attack. The crisis calms down after bowel movement when the guts are completely empty. I don't have any other symptoms. Will try your exercise. Thank you for your video.

Did it work for you?
Thank you for this video! I’ve always known that I tighten my belly all day long, and I used to pride myself for it because I had a flat tummy after 3 pregnancies without abdominal exercises. But now I have a schatzki ring, pain, and gastritis and I’m going to work on relaxing my tummy muscles because I think I’m borderline going to get a hiatal hernia if I continue with what I’m doing.
Any update on your Schatzki Ring, Pain and/or Potential Hiatal Hernia? It's been 7 months since you made this comment, any update on it would be incredibly appreciated, by myself and many others.
Thank you for this invaluable information! I am experiencing coughing and choking spasms! Twice I had to pull over the car! I would prefer not having surgery so I’m going to commit to learning alternative treatment approaches. 🙏
That's a very valuable revelation, that conventional diaphragmatic exercises exacerbate the hernia ! When I started to do exercises I also pulled in my abs and now I realize I was doing it wrong all this time and that's why my symptoms didn't get better. Thanks! You are helping a lot with your videos!
will say yes this works, months with this pain and only now was told its hiatal hernia after many tests was stressed out and afraid lost weight over this was 140 pounds now 128 because of this pain had ate less and no fats for eight weeks straight my wife was worried because she thought the worst as a man felt helpless now so much better and after this video and the breathing exercise felt alot better thank you.
I'm living a nightmare right now .... just don't even want to keep going anymore.Tgis pain is unbearable . My kids don't even have a mother anymore I'm always sick with this hernia :( thanks for posting this video you give me some hope
*I know how you feel. Have you looked into getting the surgery to correct the hernia?*
From The Westside With Love yes I'm having a test done in 4 weeks to see if my esophagus is working correctly.The doctor doesn't think it's because of my hiatal hernia he believes my les is weakened causing the acid to keep coming up.So they want to do the "tif" I believe that's what it's called surgery.Rightt now they put me on a anti depressant which oddly caused the belching and pain to be super mild.Its really strange ... I went from severe pain to super mild symptoms.I am not going to be on it permanently the doctor just wanted to try this medication so I could get some sleep at night and help with pain so I'm not miserable for the next 4 weeks.I am able to eat now and before I didn't want to eat because it caused so much pain and burping.
Ken Mcaree I'm doing okay still taking antidepressants and eating healthy.i haven't had any extreme chest pains since taking meds.I do still take a low dosage of nexium
Ken Mcaree believe it or not I'm a Sunday school teacher.My Dad is a pastor ... I do have a lot of faith but when I wrote this I was in a bad spot.I just didn't want to live anymore.The pain was unreal.I wasn't sleeping at night I was having gerd attacks every night... vomiting ... loosing weight (40lbs) it's really sad doctors don't really do much about this issue.I think there's not enough research on this issue or something.Ive been dealing with this for 3 years when I got h pylori bacteria in my stomach.I just woke up one day super ill.I feel terrible for asking God to take me every night but I was in such a terrible situation.I have faith that God will help me with this now.Im in a better mind set now that I'm on this medication.Im taking it along with a low dose of nexium.I have some test they're going to run in August to see what's wrong.Rhank you for your kind words.
Ken Mcaree yes I think of our Lord who endured way more then I could ever.I'm American.
The back story absolutely is relevant. Funny you mentioned contracting stomach as a potential cause - I have spinal nerve pressure and the muscles around my abdomen are frequently contracted and I never thought about it. Last 2 years and pain, decreased app and quick to be full - yet was never worked up for HH guessing because I didn’t have reflux? I was on Zantac and Pepcid for decades since I ate Motrin like candy. However I owned that bastard, wasn’t hungry? Didn’t eat much? No worry needed to lose weight anyway. I ran with it (not literally but did walk) dropped 100 pounds over 2 years and had to force myself to eat to STOP losing weight but I did have that abd pain - nothing noted on cat scans. Honestly I didn’t think this would do anything. I WAS WRONG. After 10 mins of this on the left side (no gallbladder also) pain was gone - after 2 years. Been gone now 3 weeks - yes I’m hungry again now. But hey I’m in a better place, down 100 and off diabetic meds
Your videos on hiatal hernia are really brilliant Pam!
Thank you for sharing! I had a CT done on my lungs the doctor found mine. Next week I go see how good or bad mine is. I was told 3 stages. I hope mine is in the first. Wish me luck.💚
You are a very smart lady. Without the back story the exercises won't mean much. I don't need help but I found the presentation interesting.
There is an easy way to bring your stomach down that I learned from a nurse. 1st thing in the morning drink a glass of water. Then lift your heals (with your stomach full of water) and bring them down hard. Do this several times if needed.
Does anyone have issues sometimes gettimg the belch to come out? This is scary and causes me to constantly swallow. Which triggers my anxiety. It feels like I'm going to choke
BlackYakuza April
Yes, what is happening my GI dr said, is that I was actually having esophagus spasms. Which comes from the acid reflux due to my hiatal hernia. It’s like a balloon being squeezed and trapping air constantly. I also hv uncontrollable hiccuping from time to time after eating certain foods or drinking from a straw. Take the ppi meds or something for acid reflux. I ended up developing Barrett’s esophagus meds cleared it up

This is one of the most logical videos I've seen on TH-cam regarding gerd. I was constantly contracting my abs all the time and adding to that I had become a 6 pack psycho.

@@rahulsrinivasm9343 did you have naval displacement? What symptoms did you feel?
Your voice is soothing and well modulated.💞
Hi Pam, small question: I didn't hear you mention about the hiatal hernia diagnoses. We're you actually diagnosed with hiatal hernia via gastroscopy or Barium swallow test by a specialist?
I just got diagnosed via endoscopy during my colonoscopy
None show mine
Thank you. I told my gastroenterologist I have a hiatal hernia and he rejected that idea. But I know I have it because I feel relief from the exercises.
You are a godsend. I just diagnosed myself with this after not knowing what it was for years. I'm in the medical field as well (not a GI physician though).
This video is a breath of fresh air. Totally worked for me. I started the breathing exercise two days ago and last night got drunk, chain smoked, over-ate a lot of spicy Mexican food, and slept the whole night and have felt fine today. And day drank. No problems. I’m 100% serial. Thank you! I can go back to my unhealthy lifestyle with no gastric repercussions! Life is worth living again.
Did you have a hiatal hernia?
A small sliding hernia, gastritis, and baretts. 38, decent shape, good weight. After some process of elimination I’ve found that it’s the overeating and the smoking that’s doing the most damage so eating small meals and trying to quit cigs. I was just joking around in my initial comment. I do like drinking but cut that in half and won’t go to bed until hours after stopping. This breathing along with stretching my midsection with arms over my head have worked wonders.
@@rynothealbinoryno i was also in the same boat heavy smoking, drinking, drugs, antacid, fast food now im recovering i have some vitamins deficiency and trace minerals and digestive issues probably HH or h pylori
THE avenger I’ve been reading up on pure distilled aloe juice, just ordered some. Lots of people online with gi issues swear it works like magic. I hope to get off the ppi as I hear that it interferes with vitamin absorption over time. I’ll try to remember to follow up here and see if it works or not.
@@rynothealbinoryno update if you can!
I got rid of PPIs with Pam Fox's advice. As a background, I am master of science, and never pay for anything online - a super cheapskate and skeptic. But I paid for her course, and also the swedish iQoro training apparatus, and the synergy of both helped me out. So if you have the hiatal hernia problem, just keep working on it, and find your way of getting that stomach down and that hiatus tighter! The doctors just aren't aware of any of this. Originally I was 100% healthy drinking whatever amount of coffee in my life and doing whatever sports etc. and then it hit one fateful day, and broke my hiatus. But I made it out of a sudden catastrophic hiatal hernia appearance in my life (after having bloating / being sick), and then not being able to sleep properly without chest pain anymore, unable to drink coffee anymore (without serious pains), having chest pains while cycling or running, having acid reflux in my throat when tying my shoe laces, sleeping fully upright and eating 40 mg of esomeprazol a day... to, in just 1 year of Pam Fox's conditioning, and tapering slowly from 40 to 30, 20, 10, 5 mg esomeprazol a day to not eating the ezomeprazol at all, and only sleeping with 15 cm wedge pillow, being able to cycle again, drinking coffee again, and only having mild chest pains every now and then, which I get rid of most easily by eating chewing gum and not being sideways on the sofa too much. That's it. I can even ride a motorcycle, do pull-ups... just about anything normal. I take absolutely no pills for over a full year now. So, Pam Fox, a big thank you from Finland.
Thank you so much for posting your experience!
the "baby breath" exercise is very relaxing... thanks for sharing
Rite Asrain
Baby breathing
Do you breath in your nose and ex hail out your mouth ?
This is actually what I do to reach a deep meditative state, while repeating in my mind "in and out" or "rising, falling". Interesting body sensations follow when I do a 30 min or longer session.
This video and her others ruined my life. I was completely healthy 6 months ago before having my gallbladder removed. Then I developed gastritis after, which isn't that uncommon. I had an EDG done and they found a small hiatal hernia. I had just cured my gastritis and was feeling almost back to normal. However, I found these videos suggesting a way to cure the hiatal hernia. I had no symptoms from the hernia and it felt the same as it had for my entire life. However, I thought I needed to cure it in order to prevent problems later in life. I did everything she suggested and over the next week I got a lot worse. I had an onset of loss of appetite and nausea. My stomach started making a strange gurgling and I felt a fullness under my left rib cage that I'd never felt. Well, I've steadily worsened since then. The loss of appetite did go away after about 3 weeks, but now I get this fullness after just eating a little and I also get this feeling of regurgitation (or at least that is what I assume it is). I have a lot of pain under my ribs and in the epigastric area. I can barely eat and experience discomfort every time I do. I feel like this ruined my life. I should never have done this. I felt fine before...and now...I'm so sick all the time. I regret finding these videos every single day. I've done a ton of research since this happened to me about 1 month ago. I figured out at the stomach is actually attached to surrounding organs and is also supported with a ligament at the top that holds it in place. By pulling the stomach down you pull this ligament and risk making it worse by essentially stretching it out. You also may tear the omentum or other ligaments holding the stomach in place naturally. This could make the stomach herniate further up into the chest. I'm putting this here because maybe it can save someone from making a big mistake like me. I ruined the rest of my life and I hope others don't try this stuff. I understand being desperate to fix the issue...especially because doctors can't seem to or don't act like they care to help. However, you're taking a HUGE risk of making yourself worse by doing this. It's not worth it. Pam Fox should be assumed of herself honestly.
try navel setting search on youtube maybe that can help your symptoms
@@hyacinth8844 No worries! I'm glad you found it before trying this yourself. It's been nearly a year since I followed Pam Fox's advice and I can definitely say it made my hernia A LOT worse. I wish I have never tried it too. I put this up so others might be saved from making their hernia worse.
Definitely going to order the course! So well worth it. Thank you for being here.
Any feedback of the course would be really appreciated.
Any feedback??
Any feedback pls?
Hi Pam, I also made the connection between stomach holding and HH. I am a speech pathologist and voice therapist--I practice breathing all day long, but you're right--it takes a lot of time and awareness. . Great video--I love your balloon example! Just bought the course, and am looking forward to starting.
Yes, me too. I had finally realized that I was sucking in my stomach and I have been doing it for years. I got the message and now I need to relearn how to let my stomach out and not tense it. It is very hard to develop the good habit especially when I have bad anxiety because I catch myself with my stomach sucked in when I'm anxious. I am getting it though, practice.
Hi Monica, can you please provide feedback on the course and whether it has helped you? I really need help with my hernia but have been burnt on courses like this in the past.
Thank you so much for sharing more info about these hernias and using the balloon as a visual. I learned way more than I have researching this for quite some time.
Legendary video darling and thanks for sharing all of those usefull advices♥
She is worthless 🙏
This is me right snow, sneezing, everything you mentioned is what I am going through the past two years!
Hey there! I have a hiatal hernia also, and I was just curious.. have you made any correlation of your hiatal hernia, to your posture? I'm only asking because; (I promise i'm just observing, not judging) I noticed your left shoulder was hiked up a little bit, and so is mine. I was just curious if you've made any connections?
Hi mine too, again my left shoulder
Would a dead hang from an overhead horizontal bar help? Dead hanging has been recommended by a number of people as a treatment for several physical ailments.
One day someone will want to help you for free
@@thetruththewayandthelife803 me! God bless and be healed ♥️ in Jesus Name!
Finally , answers that make sense ! Thank you so much❤
I agree and believe a lot of what you are saying. The stomach is out of it's area and does cause this for one reason or another. I don't seem to have the issue with the stomach muscles being tense or tight. After having anxiety for so many years and being a driver for a long time, I see how this could happen. Thanks for sharing!
WOW- decades of pain… thank you & for your story.
I tried this just for shits & giggles after my gastroenterologist found my hiatal hernia during endoscopy, but my hernia was too large. Luckily I had a great bariatric surgeon that fixed my hiatal hernia during my sleeve gastrectomy. I’m like new from the lower esophageal sphincter down.
It was large and u didnt have any symptoms?
How did they fix this, and how long was the procedure? Thank you
Sorry that I lost the link to my comment. Yes, I basically had to learn to stop holding my stomach again as I have for most of my life. Now I can drink a little orange juice after 6 p.m. even and not have that terrible acid feeling. Thank you for asking!
Thank You for taking the time to make this video
I can't believe it. We had a clock like that on the wall when I was a little kid. That's late 60s vintage.
It is not related to the topic
Did you have this heartburn constantly?? I am getting it bad from healthy foods as well...porridge and avacados
avocados are super fatty. You should cut back on the fat.
I AVOID COFFEE, TEA, BROWN CHOCOLATE, I DONT SMOKE OR DRINK GROG AND I TRY TO HAVE AS LITTLE AS I CAN OF TOMATO SAUCE. BUT SOMETIMES I DO HAVE IT. IF HIATUS HERNIA SUFFERERS WENT ON A REAL STRICT DIET FOR THIS PROBLEM , THERE WOULDNT BE MUCH THEY COULD EAT OR DRINK.
This sounds exciting. Has anyone reading this done the course? Did it help you? How much was it? Did you feel like it was worth it? Thanks anyone who can answer. ❤
What if you have a non-sliding hiatal hernia - do you know if it's possible to push them back down out of the hiatus or do they require surgery? Because every time I try to push it down or the chiropractor does, or I do the heel drop method, I never feel it drop down.
Sometimes there are adhesions. It could take months to bring it down. Keep trying.
I just learned about this. Constantly sucking in your stomach or "stomach gripping" is a super common stress response. I'm working on it as well.
I've been suffering from a hiatal hernia for years. It's slowly worsened, and I've probably followed a similar path to you. I have recently transitioned to a whole food plant diet. As I had reached a point where I would puke two or more times a week from the negative symptoms of the hiatal hernia. My new diet has had a great impact on my health. But I still have the awful symptoms. I currently take PPI pills as it's the only means as of now to keep the acid at bay along side avoiding anything spicy, acidic, oily, or sugary. But the damn medication dilutes the acid in my stomach making it difficult to digest anything but mellow vegan foods. I have attempted to massage it down with some success, but hurt myself, and worried I was doing more damage than harm. I also have a panic disorder which, when paired with the negative symptoms of the hiatal hernia can be quite overwhelming.
I'm very likely going to save up money and buy your course so I can get this sorted out and behind me. Although I think I'll keep the dietary changes, as they've been amazing on my health and state of being. I would like to enjoy spicy food again though.
How you doing now? Im in the same situation on ppi's and hard to digest certain foods, I had purple sweet potato and rice and that sweet potato came back up with a vengence from hell, had to take bicarb of soda to calm the flames tonight.
I'm doing slightly better. I've been doing some of the stomach massaging exercises Wonder Vegan has demonstrated in her TH-cam Videos. I also no longer allow myself to eat anything after 5 PM as most of my bad episodes arise in my sleep. I've slowly been lowering the dosage on my PPI's. It's still an ordeal, but I think I'm finally starting to make some progress with it. Lowering the PPI's has helped, but I think my gut flora could be all out of whack from being on them for years.
I'm somewhat concerned as I just bought some purple sweet potatoes to try them out. :P
Let me know what the course is like if you buy it. Ive been on prilosec for 22yrs and paxil 23yrs Ive managed to reduce the paxil to 5mg a day but the ppi stayed on the 20mg dose, Ive gone onto various boards and a lady came off by switching to H2blockers rranitidine they dont work the same way as ppi's and doesnt my body know it, it rebels, there is a slight difference in that I feel more acid than usual but after a few days the burning gets too much and have problems swallowing foods so I assume the esophagus is being burnt and damaged.
Ive done the massaging down that wondervegan suggests and find it hurts as well and get red marks if I do them daily, I wonder if it actually pulls the stomach down, as you pull the stomach will roll out of the way, as to vegan diet or whole foods plant based, although I agree that meat/eggs etc have been shown to increase IGF1/HGH and this seems to be implicated in cancer growth/mets/angiogenesis etc and animal protein being heavy for the kidneys and heart health etc, I have found that meat can be easy to digest, Ive eaten in the past raw (slightly scalded) Liver heart, chicken that I previously froze in order to kill bacteria, the meat is super soft and found it easy to digest even though Im on PPI's long term, Im Gluten intolerant (past 6 yrs only) it could be cause chronic low acid can lead to overgrowth of bad bacteria which can then migrate to the small intestine area and damage it leading to leaky gut and various autoimmune disease symptoms such as arthritis and allergies in my own case, I even have to be careful with probiotics and yogurts cause certain bacteria trigger histamine and cause allergic type reactions, Ive found one that is good and can take without reacting.
Some seems to have success with paleo type diets and cure their arthritis and acid reflux, not sure though if they have hiatal hernia though cause thats more difficult than just acid reflux, you know they guys that say take HCI and apple cider vinegar? I tried that and ended up in hospital after 10 days.
I find that even if I drink water of almond milk I can feel it bounce right back up within minutes
@@theantireaper any updates??
@@csj2500
Similar. I recently had my esophagus dilated. I'm looking into the TIF procedure.
Lying down, putting a decent size book on your stomach and with the aim to push the book up with each outbreath, 15 mins a day....that is one simple way to do it. Good video, thanks.
Out breath or in breath trying to push up book??
@@jamesgould3305 haha good point! Yes, outbreath would be impressive. Definitely whilst inhaling, my error. What I've found is that at first I was also using my ab muscles to push the book up whilst inhaling so now I'm concentrating on allowing just the expansion of my diaphragm to push the book up. It actually feels pretty good when combined with allowing it to sink all the way back down on the exhale....I hope it helps both of us!
@@rob3197 thanks mate I wasn’t being sarcastic was actually just curious! lol take care
@@jamesgould3305 I didn't think you were...I was just amused by thinking about trying to do it the opposite way! This lady has some good videos...th-cam.com/video/2mjgosPNs0k/w-d-xo.html
her videos are really clear and helpful
thanks, straightforward common sense concepts, and i suspect I am tensing my abs more than i realize
Wow I was wondering if the fact I pull my abs in all the time was causing me problems and it's nice to see someone else is saying the same thing. Thank you.
There are different types of abs in your body, if it's the Six pack abs then yes if you engage them this will make it worse. Activating your transverse abs and oblique abs (side abs) will help you though.
thanks for the instructional vids, I don't have a problem relaxing my belly and diaphragmatic breathing because my belly sticks out and I allow it to! Good to practice
Being overweight also puts pressure on your stomach. Try get get BMI to normal range through diet and cardio.
Thanks for the amazing video. Definitely saved me few hours. I am interested in buying your course but have hiatal hernia grade 4. Do you think you're techniques will help me reverse my hernia?
This video is 2 years old. But yet very helpful!!
Thank you!
I agree. A newer video isn't always a better video.
I have been diagnosed with a sliding hiatal hernia. I've had heartburn for over two years now. I had an endoscopy done and the doctor said that my throat was pretty red as well. If I have to wait to eat and get so hungry that I inhale my food, it feels like it sits in my throat by my collarbone and I want to burp but can't so I end up vomiting. I have vomited up so much bile as well that I can't stand it. I'm supposed to have surgery to fix it but I will try your course as I'm tired of eating so many tums and drinking so many bottles of pepto. I'm praying this helps me. Thank you for your very informative video!
Hi there, I have identical symptoms as you. Just wondering if you tried the course
@@bassfishingireland LOL me too!
Thank you so much this has helped. I used to think I had to pull my stomach in. I am going to have another Colonoscopy soon so the Hiatus Hernia was of real concern as well. Thanks again will practice everyday. My mother said years ago after a breech birth gone wrong that when the baby logged its head up into my chest she was worried I'd have problems in the future. She was correct. The doctors did nothing at all.
How is it going for you? How was your progress?
Root cause is usually your back (poor posture has a big role in Hiatal hernia) if you notice daily that your sleeping position as well sitting position isn't right = you have a first answer + Pretty weak diaphragm can cause that. Usually these are the main two reasons. Personally for me it's my back = working with chiropractor helps a lot.
You need to train your back and diaphragm. and do daily 2x times these whole diaphragm exercises + back exercises + let chiropractor do manipulations (it's slow process because "muscles" "tissues") and try to understand when Your hiatal hernia poops double up... And avoid that.
Stress, Siting position, sleeping position etc.
I dont think there is a moment where I haven't flexed my stomach since I was a kid. It is so hard to mentally change that but I'm going to work on it. Thank you. I just started getting symptoms of a hiatal hernia two weeks ago after stomach flu. Doctors (and myself) are fairly sure I have it, have to wait to see a specialist to confirm I'm trying all that I can't reverse it. I won't allow myself to accept it. Thank you so much for hope.
Kelsey Sullivan I hear that females suffer the most from bracing their lower stomach because of what a loved one or random person told them. I have had this issue because it was a defensive mechanism for me whenever I was in stressful situations until I eventually just did it subconsciously whenever I would be thrown into a stressful situation. The problem is this limits lower stomach breathing and forces you to be a chest breather which in my case amplified my anxiety. It wasn’t until 2 years ago I became mindful of my body because it was affecting way more then just breathing.
Well, I didn’t realize how tense my abs remain … will be checking out your website
Awesome video! Btw it’s interesting that you said you switched to plant based because of allergies I’m having this exact same issue and I recently switched to plant base. How long after going plant base we’re you allergy free?
This is very helpful. Can you explain how the plant based diet made you stop sneezing? I didn’t understand that part.
Glad i found your channel Thank you so much for this video!
😂🤣
If you don't want to buy it or can't afford it then don't buy it. I have just subscribed to her channel and she puts most of the exercises on her videos. There is also a wealth of information she gives us about diet, stress and exercise for free. I mean, if she can make money doing her thing then that's awesome for her, why not be happy for her and maybe someday you can start your own thing and be successful at it. I am working on it because I've lost over 70lbs. I've had a hiatal hernia since 1997 and never attributed any of my symptoms to it until now and these videos she made really gave me something to identify with and now I can move forward with my own holistic healing with less anxiety and feeling better with the choice I have made many years ago not to use main stream or western medicine. The whole PPI story coming out in the media now made me feel very confident in my choices because my doctor had wanted to put me on that years ago but I refused it. Now , its coming out that it was very harmful, so scary but glad I made the choices I did, anyway I am babbling now. Have a blessed day everyone.
Esophageal and throat cancer is scary also if people don’t take meds when they should be. Holistic remedies are great when they work but don’t die of cancer from acid problems if the holistic remedies don’t work.
PS: I also get cramps on my lower left side I always assume was where my large intestines are. The cramps are always before or after elimination.
Happy to see this video, is very easy to me to breathe with my stomach and baby's breath because I learned this long time ago and now watching this I will follow you and watch all your videos. Thanks
Hiding help behind an expensive "course". Thank you for the non-help
No way!!! Geez
Exactly 💯🙏
The course is $66 dollars, by no means expensive compared with the thousands of dollars it will take for surgery + traditional medical care.
@@theebabyjesus 🤡
@@theebabyjesus surgery is not an option for many and it’s not a guarantee. Medications make you sicker. Many are unable to work to make ends meet much less to buy a course. I have found that manual manipulation pulling down the stomach out of the diaphragm and taking betaine hcl with meals is helping tremendously. I’ve read where the stomach acids will return to normal after a while and betaine is no longer needed. Also drink very little during meals as any liquids can reduce the acid. Don’t overeat again, this could cause a reduction in stomach acid. We want the stomach acid to return to its acidic level and the sphincter will close healing everything. Spiritually: take some time out and do some soul searching and forgive those that hurt you at any time in your life. Even forgive those that are hurting you now just stay away from them if you can. Ask the Lord to help you forgive and be healed. ❤️
This is whats happening for me....A lifetime of allergies, sneezing coughing, mucus, burping, yawning, bronchitis, continual constipation, inability to breathe....Ive had this for 45 years, (Im now 74), but Ive never been on medication thru choice...Never taken anything except literally 2 .Recently had my first taste of serious GERD and heartburn, and it was horrific, along with extreme nausea...I was actually told by one doctor I was too young to have a hiatus hernia, and assured him I did....Apart from elevating myself at night, I have only ever taken 2 quick eze recently because it was so bad....Have never heard of been told of anything in regards to what you could do to get some relief, apart from medication which I am dead against....I have other I have other issues Im also dealing with like ulcers in terminal illeum and sibo, so my whole digestive system is out of whack.....Thank you for this video, Ill certainly check it out.
Hi Pam, I have a sliding hiatal hernia which is affecting my breathing and my voice. When i exhale, should i put pressure on the hernia, and do I breathe slow or normal? Thank you so much!
How are you now?
The nausea and light headed ness is sooooooo rough. I eat a plant based diet . I puke all the time to the point of hospitalization. Each time I go they say there’s no reason for it (last time they said I didn’t even have a hernia) so now I’m literally a ball of frustration. Thanks for this can’t wait to see if this works
Cassandra Lindsay I’m so sorry! How are you feeling?
This also happened to me...15 years ago. Now I consume mostly green smoothies...arugula, berries and coconut water...I'm 54 and feel better than when I was 30. The body speaks to us yes? Inflammation is a killer. I eat lots of fruit...usually juiced or smoothies. You will not regret it!!
Do you have the hernia ?
Did you ever get any relief?
I reversed mine by working on my Psoas muscle...Doing low lunges...I suffered from it since I was 12...Thats most of my life but doctors laughed in my face when I told them thats what I had...I sorted it with a couple if sessions...I also sorted my Sciatica at the same time...

Thank you for this. I got Afib from this. I was drinking a cold smoothie, gulped to much and it was ice cold and stuck in my esophagus and it hurt terribly then gave me a brain freeze then I was in Afib. Had my cardioversion a few days ago and still having short bursts of heart flutter whenever I bend over or reach for something. I also have LPR for many years and vocal cords that are damaged from all this as well as failed pulmonary function tests. This causes the docs to accuse me of smoking. I have an excellent VO2 max and no exercise limitation -- the vocal cords are burned up from acid that is normal at the lower esophageal sphincter and slightly high up in he voice box (base don a 24 hour Ph monitoring). My mom told me I had a hiatal hernia but two upper GIs and upper endoscopies told me I do not but I do have esophageal rings and functional esophagus. I suspect I also have a hiatal hernia because I've also had paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia from bending forward or crunching. The docs wont give me my Nexium anymore because it's expensive but whenever I go off it I get the bad vocal cord burn again and trouble breathing and heart palpitations. Oh and I had an inguinal hernia repaired and umbilical and also a diastis recti. I'm a mess! But I am in good shape and fit. That's what makes it hard. They want to treat me like I have Stage IV COPD and I don't. I can do 16 minutes on the Bruce protocol treadmill stress test. I just have LPR really bad and esophagus issues. I'm going to try your exercises. Wish me luck.
when you were diagnosed with HH...did you go back to the doctor to confirm you no longer had it?
Bro can i get a little help : today i stretched after a long time and suddenly i got swelled on my left abdoman is it a symptom of hernia or just a nerve get swollen?
Glad you mentioned lpr because I have a hiatal hernia 3cm and lpr and it sucks. They don't want to do surgery on me because I'm only 21
I've read that surgery is also no guarantee.
VERY HELPFUL.
THANK YOU.
AND TO HEAR THE STORY WAS IMPORTANT TO ME
Oh my! I've been tightening .my lower abs for decades due to my vocal instruction in college as a voice major. OMG!
