<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> It seems like hiatal hernias are very common. They are probably not related to CD since a large percentage of people have them. Usually there is no recommended treatment. They can cause acid reflux. One person said that drinking mint tea helps and that it probably won't heal but it should get better. Another person said to avoid dairy and meat (which I do). One person had surgery with great results. She avoids sodas besides gluten. Another person takes zantac and eats smaller meals. Susanne
