Hiatal hernia issues: I would avoid any foods that cause issues - particularly soda. Also try elevating the head of your bed - a red brick under each headpost. Also avoid eating close to bedtime and drinking alcoholic beverages Sometimes a tablespoon of antacid will help without the potential of long term PPI's Good luck.
