A member asked:
Will a hiatus hernia go away by sticking to a specific diet, and for how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never: A hernia never goes away until a surgeon repairs it. Diet modifications may control the symptoms of a hiatal hernia so that you do not need medication to control the symptoms. But if you want it to go away, you have to talk to a surgeon.
