I have recently had a upper GI series that revealed I have a very small hyedel hernia. Doesn't sound like much but believe me it causes me alot of grief. I have on several occasions awaken in the early morning to acid coming up into my throat and spilling over into my windpipe, being as I also have a COPD this makes it even more difficult to breathe. But I have made an observation it seems only to happen after I have either eaten ice cream or drank a glass of milk. could it be that I later in life I have
become lactose intolerant, My doctor advised me to take two Prilosec instead of one which I do but it still happens
