The 75-year-old listener shared that she suffers from pressure in the abdominal cavity, and she suffers from a lot of gas. According to her: "It's hard for me to eat, after eating I feel this pressure even more. I did gastro tests, and they said there is a diaphragmatic hernia." Prof. Rafi Carso advised her on the appropriate drug treatment and claimed that the pains could come from stomach inflammation.

Stop the pain: hurry to get vaccinated against this serious disease collapsed

Listener: My name is Michal. I am 75 years old. I have had pressure in my stomach for the past month
Caruso: You are talking about the stomach area.
Listener: It's hard for me to eat. After eating I feel this pressure more. A year ago I had a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy and they said there was a three cm diaphragmatic hernia.

Caruso: It's very common at your age. I will suggest that if you have supplementary insurance or private insurance, take advantage of it and go privately to a gastroenterologist. Regardless, you are describing a stomach syndrome. These pains can be gastritis, it is an inflammation of the stomach. It could be that because of the diaphragmatic hernia you have reflux, acidity that rises up, and that it also burns the esophagus.

Offer small meals often rather than large meals. chew well There are digestive enzymes in the house, you may not be digesting well and the food stays in the stomach and does not leave, which causes some stress and distress. Take the digestive enzymes with food. A large part of this wisdom is good chewing, because most of us have a tendency not to chew the food but to swallow it. A large part of digestion begins with the saliva in the mouth. If it doesn't help then separate foods. Or eat proteins together with vegetables, or carbohydrates together with vegetables. Green and raw vegetables are digested a little more with difficulty, compared to legumes and cooked vegetables.

Listener: Is there any complementary medicine that can help with a hernia?
Caruso: I don't think so, it can help the whole body. Naturopathy can help, but the great wisdom is to separate foods, and go for a gastroenterological follow-up.
