Perhaps it's an M & S hernia.....Always got to go one better eh?

Sorry to hear that Graham, I hope that it's not too debilitating. Will it repair itself or do you need a bit of delicate TIG welding?

It needs surgery to repair it, but there's no guarantee of that stopping reflux. The classic treatment is to put you on PPIs, to reduce acid production. For a variety of reasons, in my case, long therm it's not very good solution. I stopped taking the med December 18th and make sure that I don't eat late and have several hours between the meal and going to bed. Where I do have to eat late I pop a pill, will works well.

Losing 3 stone also helped me wrt a hiatus hernia that was holed , too many medication conflicts caused it apparently. A few months on acid reduction tabs . a review of my meds and eating very small almost fat free meals & no alcohol or gut stretching drinks & it healed nicely .

Got fed up with our council numpties who for the last 18 years have forced us to use silly easily tearable polybags for supposedly recyclable waste ( they landfill dump most of it apparently ) .
We have black bin bags to store as well , so I've been using a cut down 310 litre blue food grade barrel that had the top cut out by the P/O. to store them till it's bin day for each type of rubbish. We've incvested in a large bin locker able to contain two 120 litre dustbins which we use to contain the blue & black bin bags after slipping a four x 3 foot sheet of curled round industrial DPC inside the bags to keep them open .
Over the years the roundness of the cut in half barrel has changed to more like a peanut shell shape , so getting three or four filled recycle or normal rubbish bags in it was becoming more & more difficult, getting them out and not ripping the bloody thing was even more challenging .
Today I finally got given what I've been looking for , a 28 inch dia high grade aluminium racing bike wheel minus the spindle hub and spokes , after a bit of jiggling and struggling I got it inside the half barrel rotated it 90 % a to get it to sit just below the cut line . then drilled out a few spoke holes and fitted 1/4 " nylon nuts and bolts ( No 1/4 " x 20 mm pop rivets ) getting our seven yeazr old refugee lad chopping off the excess nylon thread lengths with some sharp end cutters.
Must say it's a big improvement on just the cut barrel , the wheel rim is also handy as a grip for moving it about .

When I was troubled with occasional heartburn against (which Gaviscon and similar proprietary medicines were ineffective), I mentioned it to my GP during a consultation for something else and he prescribed Lansoprazole capsules.
Much better and I seldom need them now.

...that Aldi bandsaw I never bought might have come in handy for this project...
The 1mm discs to took a beating instead. But managed to make use of the bank holiday and fabricate a removable, flip uppable seat/bed for my van.
More clamps than Norm Abraham

I have lost weight by cutting out a lot of carbon. and eating lots of fats, meat, and other protein. It also seems that I'm less prone to heartburn with this regimen.
