I've been diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia and lax LES through endoscopy, and my symptoms include GERD, throat and heartburn, mouth ulcers, and upper abdomen burning. I've tried so many PPI meds but they make me tired, and if I skip them even for two days, the burning, sour burps, and sleepless nights get unbearable. My doctor says the main issue is my lax LES and that I'll need lifelong meds or surgery, but I'm exhausted from taking PPIs for two years and surgery success rates don't seem great. I'm feeling hopeless sometimes the acid attacks and pain are so bad I can't cope. Can homeopathy actually help fix a lax LES or make GERD go away? I already eat clean homemade food with coriander and cumin, no spicy or oily stuff, plus fruits and curd and do yoga daily, but nothing's working. I don't want false hope just honest advice on whether this can improve.

While homeopathy may offer some symptomatic relief for GERD and related issues, it's unlikely to cure a lax LES or hiatal hernia. Homeopathy is a holistic approach that focuses on individual symptoms and constitution, but it lacks robust scientific evidence for treating structural issues like a lax LES.

View allI've got a sgpt level of 52 and was told my liver is fatty grade 1. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication?
NOT TO WORRY CHANG IN DIET N LIFE STYLE CAN REVERT ALL. NO BAD HABITS, LIGHT DIET WITH LEAST OIL N SPICES, WALKING BRICK FOR 40 MIN FIVE DAYS IN A WEEK HELPS ALOT. PLENTY OF GLUCOSE, BUTTER MILK FRESH, FRESH CURD NIMBUPANI MOSAMBI JUICE WATERMELON ETC ARE VERY BENIFICIAL.

I had pile surgery last year and it's been a year now but whenever I eat or drink water, my stomach bloats up like a balloon. Sometimes it's hard to pass gas and stools don't come out easily either. My chest also feels tight. Is this happening because of indigestion or a gas problem? Could you suggest any Ayurvedic medicine for this?
