Hi! On payday..I am going up to the local health food store and buy some PURE Buckwheat Honey. A dear friend of mine swears that it cured her stomach ailments. She said to take one teaspoon several times daily. It's worth a try. I can actually feel the hernia every time I take a breath. It feels like something hard pressing against the diaphram.

Also: don't lie down for at least 3 hours after meals.Sleep with your head up as far as you can stand it. I use 2 pillows.

No: aspirin, motrin, or Naproxsen. Stick to Tylenol for pain. Iblame myself for my condition as I took large amounts of aspirin over the years to get relief from migraines.

If your temperature increases greater than 101 degrees..call your Doctor!!

Take good care! dottie
