A member asked:
I have ehlars danlos and a hiatal hernia. is there a relationship between the two? i have significant pain but my gi doc thinks it might be due to the ed ?

Ehlers Danlos: A hiatal hernia is far too common to blame on ehlers danlos - and even if it is there is nothing that can be done except 1. Strong antacid medication and if those fail 2. Consideration of surgical repair of the hiatal hernia itself.

Possibly related: Hiatal hernia is a known manifestation of ed. Both hh and ed can cause pain but hh frequently has no symptoms and if there is pain, it is usually due to acid reflux. The question you need to ask your GI doctor is, "how do you know this is not due to acid reflux?" if s/he cannot give you a clear explanation, seek a second opinion. Reflux is treatable so it is worth it to be sure.
