I have CD and also have GERD and a sliding hiatal hernia (hope I spelled
it right). I've done everything I know how to do to limit my diet for
these problems and my doctors have given me medications, but I still
have burning in my esophagus and asthma. Does anyone know whether
surgery is the likely solution, or is it to be avoided at all costs?
