I've just learned, after having my lungs and heart checked, that I have a hiatal hernia, and checked what foods to avoid.

As I'm busy with other things, like daughter being married, and having cataract removed, I'll probably wait a bit to deal with this thing surgically (if my doc thinks I should do that,) but REALLY, ALL my favorite foods to be avoided???!!!

(111,359 posts)for years, I thought it was tomato sauce on pizza or spaghetti. Turns out it was the wheat.
Canola oil is another one of my triggers, instant erupting volcano under my sternum.
Other than that, I'm pretty peachy.
Just eat the "problem foods" one at a time until you figure out which are the worst, then avoid them.

As no problems with heart and lungs found, but hernia seen, I'm looking to address labored breathing that occurs after I've eaten. Was surprised to hear of the hernia today.
What the heck did I eat yesterday???

(16,334 posts)most of those are my faves too but I can do without the dairy. Chocolate? Coffee? Spaghetti Sauce? Shoot ME along with you!
