Dr. Mandell's Hiatal Hernia Ball-Release Technique for Hearburn, Acid Reflux (GERD), & Belching

- The exact cause of hiatal hernias is unknown. The condition may be due to weakness of the supporting tissue. Your risk for the problem goes up with age, obesity, and smoking. Hiatal hernias are very common. This occurs when the stomach protrudes upwards through the hiatus of the diaphragm. Most common symptoms are belching, acid reflux, hearburn, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, fullness, and vomiting. Avoid large or heavy meals. Limit foods that are acidic, such as citrus fruits and foods with caffeine or alcohol. Do not lay down or bend over after eating a meal. Reduce weight and do not smoke.
I would like to suggest a quick alternative approach that might work. Just drink a couple glasses of water and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position. No harm or cost in giving this approach a try. You should know quickly, in a couple days, if this approach helps.
Forty years ago, I did an activity which forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. It was a couple months later that I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. It was a couple of years of misery before I realized that the doctor was wrong and I had gastric reflux disease, or GERD. GERD often happens naturally without a clear cause, especially with older people. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm sphincter muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the two sphincter muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD.
Other people suggest drinking warm or hot water to relax the muscles, I would suggest cold water so that the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the volume of water won’t dilute the digestion process of other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs to stay in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now, and can eat anything I want and take no meds for anything. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also.
The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed from the small intestines for use to make new proteins our body needs. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Both of those actions are counterproductive.
Thankyou so much I’m suffering every day 🌹❤️🙏❤️
Osman, thank you for sharing this- I’m going to try it out! I have been misdiagnosed as well until recently it’s all but confirmed and these physics make sense to weight the stomach down with water and address this!!
Thank you so much 🙏 I have been suffering for 13 years and I have nausea and vomiting 10 time a day 🥴 and I have candida overgrowth fungal overgrowth and sibo small intestine bacteria overgrowth and morgellons mites and worms 🥴🙏
And haital hernia
Yes! Thank you so much for this information. It makes total sense. I am just starting but think it is working! Can't thank you enough for your kindness in sharing this. May God bless you. ❤😊
You are life saver. My doctor wanted me to take a powerful drug for my hernia which comes with a lot of side effects. Your video was so helpful and eliminated my constant worry. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much, Dr. Mandell. You consistently show us ways to reduce and avoid intrusive medical methods!
Thank you for alleviating such terrible discomfort . The acid is sporadic. Praying that it will cease permanently.
You are such a blessing Dr. Mandell to me and to thousands that watch you !! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your selfless service !!! May the Lord bless you with more love , more power , more of Him in your life as you continue to be a light in the darkness 🙏
Amen.JESUS, THE ETERNAL LOVING SHEPARD, IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER.🙏 ❤
Great comment. Thank you to the doctor but more importantly thank you to the Almighty and Everlasting God, without Whom we are nothing.
Thank you so much. I cannot thank you enough. Using the tennis ball was so much better than using my hands and I noticed a difference straightaway.
Abundance of gratitude and blessings for sharing this!
I am.worried using the ball to push it down might expand the diagram and cause more acid reflux though
I have now tried this procedure wow what a big difference this made on the first day I can now eat without feeling uncomfortable just tried again for the second day Dr Alan Thankyou so much 🤗🤗🤗
How much time you do
Yes, i also wanna know how many times, thanks n love from India
You have been my icon for 3.5 years on natural health. I trust your advice Dr Mandell. Be blessed, Charles in Uganda.
This ball exercise has greatly relieved by hiatal hernia. Thanks you!!
This works, I’ve noticed that by pressing in this area, the acid seems to stop refluxing immediately! Almost like pressing there acts like a manual valve to help close off the acid. It works for me immediately. Thanks Doc
How long the effect last?
Thank you! I recently learned that I have a hiatal hernia. Thank you again! Blessings to All ❤️
Breathing exercises and fixing my hand under the left rib has helped me with silent reflux
What are the breathing exercises?
Very good presentations and one of the simplest I have seen. 'll try it!
Doctor = wish I had seen this video 7 months ago. My GI Dr did not tell me any of this. I researched from many resources for help. What I've learned + more, You have compiled into this 10 min video. Amazing! Thanks so very much. Lorelle, Kentucky
Hi, did this help you?
I have hh for 2years 😔
Thank you so very much 😊
I have tried this method with a tennis ball and it feels very relieving, it is much smoother than trying to prod and poke something you can't even see , down with your fingers.. Plus , the tennis ball doesn't have any sensitivity so there are no negative feelings regarding fat or body shape as you are performing it. So thanks for the video.
Thank you! Dr Mandell I will do that have a bless one to enjoy your evening
Sally Barnes you are so right!!!!!
Are u all right now??
Dr Mandell I was told by my chiropractor that before I get out of bed to drink 30 oz of water. Stand up and bounce for 30 seconds. Then breathe out my mouth in short quick sessions while holding my arms out. This is supposed to pull the stomach down and out of the diaphragm. Needless to say I only did it a few days. I like your technique better. Thank you
We have to way to heal our own bodies. When we get hurt we run to the doctor or don’t feel good we run to the doctor if we look it up and see what’s wrong and try to heal our own selves by massage using our own hands that makes more sense to me than just not touching anywhere where it bothered you and just getting pills from the doctor. It’s really a no brainer. So many good people on CZcams that helps you for free. We got to stay in control of our own bodies. A lot of doctors don’t get to the root of it they put a Band-Aid on it with medication.But thanks for this I’ve done this in the past and it works got rid of the hiatal hernia now I’m working on my mom. Thanks Dr. Mandel
From many Drs on CZcams. This dude is really cool.
Brilliant. The best I've seen.
You don't need the ball. Just pull up on your ribs while pushing down on the top part of your stomach with your fingers. Works for me!
Thank you so much. I just saw a video a week ago but your is easier and faster. Very well explained.❤👏 👍
I used to get HH in the car. I had to pull over to stand. I then noticed that i was brearhing thtu my chest and was anxious. I started to do 10 meditations and bellt breathing. Thus REALLY helped me. The reflux was caused by anxiety. So if it started id sing to songs or meditate. I started eating yogurt, beets, ginger root and aloe vera inner fillet (couple sips). But also cuttinf out the crap food as well
Thank you Thank you this brought me quick relief!! You are a lifesaver ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will try this soon.if it worked for you hope with me
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm so relieved that there's something I can do do (besides diet and medications) that can help fix this .
Big ups, Doc! Below the xyphoid process with the ball makes tension go away!
Thanks Doc, this seems to be a simple thing to do. Much easier than a lot of other people have suggested. I’ll let you know how it goes for me.
Worked GREAT! No more indigestion, bloating or pain from a blocked up stomach. Aka, hiatal hernia. Thanks so much for your help.
@@brucemack7728 how long does it take?
Same symptoms did the tennis ball 5-6 times feel much better thanks dr 👍
Thankyou Dr have learnt alot from your videos on various subjects excellent work God 🙌
Thank you Dr! Also video about dizziness, vertigo.
Anyone else have major bloating and gas with HH
It’s me Beth D yup. It’s horrible
Me too
Yes!!! It is horrible!
OMG yes! Feels like I swallowed a tennis ball
Apple cider vinegar! Dilute two table spoons in a glass of water and drink it. Instant results. Drink through a straw to avoid enamel deterioration
Thanks for sharing this video!
Thank you. On days when I can’t get a full breath this helped me so much. May god bless you sir thank you.
Thank's Dr. another great video!!!
Thank you Doc. I will surely try this. God bless.
Fantastic I wish you were my GP I have every confidence in you love all your videos I going to try the tennis ball Thankyou from the bottom of my heart 👍👍👍👍
Congratulations i am also dealing with GERD too
Love all your videos.
Hope this advice works for me it’s miserable to like that, thank you for sharing.
thank you dr.Mandel, somebody told me hernia located little bit left from in the middle.
Thank you for your video...will definitely give it a try. Have got absolutely tired of having antacids. Was suffering from belching , chest tightness n difficulty in swallowing. Endoscopy revealed Hiatal hernia. My question is what is the best time to do this procedure.
Thank you doc 😊 more power & success
Sounds like a really interesting technique. I notice that when I starting eating broccoli and whole grains I started feeling much better and stop eating foods late at night. Then Thanksgiving came and you know the unhealthy foods lol. Also, lemon water helps as well. But people have also said Aloe Vera juice healed the acid reflux too. I'm looking seeing a dietitian about this.
Late at night is a KILLER! I believe it's POSTURE too, as we all look down at phones, etc., many times sitting a lot. POSTURE =EVERYTHING. Lastly, many of us have LOW ACID...n docs have exactly what Hurts us!!!! Best to you
Really great advice, thanks for this.
Thank you very much Dr. Mandel I don’t know who if there’s anybody else around that I put as much trust in as I do you other than being a Christian and knowing that Jesus is my savior it is still something that I like to talk with somebody who knows exactly what they’re talking about because I don’t know when I’m talk about in that area now if it’s a mechanical thing I was a mechanic for 45 years and I can tell you a lot about cars but I can’t tell you anything about my frame and I thank you for everything you do for us
I will definitely try this. My chiropractor moved mine but I don’t want to pay &45 every month. Mine causes me to have a bad cough every 4-6 weeks. It lasts about 1-2 weeks.
Yes, that's what it gives me, I cough so hard it gives me a blood shot eye.
The same
Chronic cough
Uh-uh cut that out. Love the assertive approach! I need it. 😂
Can you please make a video over how to get ride of Umbilical and all other hernias
It would be very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this and for all that you do! Now how do I keep this from coming back? Are there some exercises I could do?
Can you please do a video about inguinal hernias? Thank you Doc
Wow! This actually works. Thank you 🙏🏼
Really sir its work?
Thank you very much!
HI Dr Mandell, have you used this methodology successfully with your own clients?
Diagnosed for 46 years. This has been one the best videos ever.
Have you been taking PPI's or had acid reflux?
Why haven't you had surgery for it?
jesus.....
Damn..
I’ve had this crap for 5 stinking weeks and I hate it already. The heart jumps , hot cold, pains in the upper shoulder and chest! I am absolutely disgusted with this b.s. I must say you are a very good at keeping your cool I guess. This is stressing me out big time. And that’s the last thing I should be doing right? Best of luck. For all who suffer from this ailment.
HI DR MANDELL, HOW MANY TIMES PER DAY CAN I DO THIS EXERCISE?
I love to listen you !! Great Guy !! Dr !! Mandell and his Mom !! Happy life to you !!
Surprised you advised grains, but I'm wondering about your suggestion of doing it several times a day? Seems a bit much. It wouldn't hurt somehow??
How many people have gotten over this ailment that you've treated personally. Not people that you've read about or heard stories about please. thanks so much
Thank you for this video. I have a problem, i’m never hungry during the day, if i eat i get sleepy. unfortunately i eat dinner then go to bed. i never get heartburn but please tell me i haven’t done damage to my hernia by eating and lying down every night. I sure won’t do it again now
Thank you Doc., I actually do another method and it's useful but i'll try do this too.
Tell us. How are you? Did your hiatel Hernia heal?
I was diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia from an endoscopy I had. I also have an ulcer. I will try this excercise and try to reduce it. What could have caused my hiatal hernia?
I enjoy your videos. Do you have a recommended physician in the Houston area for this? I don't have reflux but I constantly feel like food is stuck in my throat and occasional pain in the chest area until i do exercises.
No Chiropractor in Houston does hiatal hernia. I have researched this because I have a 3 cm HH. I might fly to Miami for treatment with Dr. Mandell.
Dr. Mandell could you release a video on treatments for inguinal hernias below the abdominal area or beside the pubic area
Wow 👏 😮 👏 😮 👏 I so need this ...please send more on this subject! What should I take in the morning to relieve the gassyness and pressure 🤔
Gas X
Unfortunately I did not have a tennis ball but I did have a nice green apple that I used and then I ate it right after 😊, Thank you Doc 💙.
Lol
I’d rather do this technique than to have a hiatal hernia surgery any day.
so u did this technique? sorry for my bad english
Dr. Mandel, I love your videos! Did you say lots of water with food or not lots of water? Thanks!! :)
Should not drink with meals. It dilutes the stomach acid needed to digest foods. You can drink water 30 minutes before a meal - it helps with feeling more full so you won't eat as much. It helps me.
Oh my goodness, doctor. Nothing so far has worked to release the hiatal hernia. I still have belching, and acid reflux. My diet has changed tremendously. I was wondering, if I strengthen my diaphragm, will this also help? So this exercise, plus strengthen my diaphragm? Please and thank you!
Keep a moderately heavy book on your diaphragm area (6 fingers above the navel) for 10 min before you sleep. Hands behind the head. The objective is to gently move the book with the up and down motion of the diaphragm. Don't move the chest when you breathe in, only the upper area of the stomach. Try this for 3 months and the diaphragm will be stronger.
Thank you!!
Can this help heal the issue eventually?
Hello doc my endoscopy colonoscopy and urease test all normal and negative. i follow strict diet and avoid all the foods that triggers but still suffering all the symptoms. i hope your video will help
Wz abt2 thanku 4breathing bend over then back exercise works Great 👍& found ur hiatal hernia one jst now SO glad 2find u!! Yay!! Bless uuu!!
I already requested u may time if can make videos how to cure polyps stop growing in gallbladders plc dr thank u again
Thank you. How often does it make sense to do the exercise?
A hernia slips back. After every meal?
Do I have to go for operation oh that can cure naturally plc dr late me knows.
Thank uuuuuuu!!!!!!
I have had this hernia for years, Will this be able to make a permanent change if I do this daily and make the health changes I need to do?
I have same problem dr
Thank you so much
I was waiting for you do this video.
My allergy doc told me reflux causes sinus problems and sore throat. My hernia when I am having a bad episode causes heart palpitations and tremors also. The main thing is to keep the stomach down out of the chest. If you type in hiatal hernia exercises , you will get a lot of info. One of the problems is that the pressure from the hernia causes the vagus nerve to act up. Check that up on iTunes also.
Got diagnosed with a hiatal hernia last week, a small one so no need for surgery, but I will try this exercise, though if anyone on here knows or has any helpful advise for young 27yr old, that be very much appreciated
I am the same,how r u now,small hernia
what about inguinal hernia ?? any vids or basic exercises that can be done?
May I Know please it has to do at Empty stomach or can be done after 2 to 3 hours of meal.
What causes your stomach to protrude your diaphragm?
I have a diagnosed HH. I do this often, also pushing my stomach down. This works as my sore throat goes away when swallowing for a few min, but then returns. Can this actually hurt your stomach or esophagus though if done too much or incorrectly?
I've had cancer X 3 . Following chemotherapy I was left with arthritis in every joint , kidney disease & SVT . Sadly I'm a rare one who has on going side effects from chemotherapy . Could it also have caused a hiatal hernia ?
Sorry to hear that I hope your better
Will try this then leave a comment. I have been diagnosed via an orthoscopy.
How did it go?
How did it go ?
Thanks sir
Can this exercise cure my hiatal hernia?
Plz make video for umbilical hernia
Thank you, i have a supragastric belching for about 3 months, is this a dangerous problem? and how i can reduce it with those excercices?
Me2 someone help us pls.
Thank you
Thanks Dr
How often should this technique be done? Also can a hiatal hernia cause the feeling of difficulty swallowing or throat tightness?
Absolutely can make the throat feel that way. Trouble swallowing, yes. The stomach is protruding up into the esophagus which makes it hard to swallow.
Hi doctor! Does a hiatal hernia cause the lower left side (below rib cage) to be slightly protruding?
I don't think so, my PT said I have rib flare and it's relatively common. With the hernia it's probably counterproductive to try to work on the rib flare as that requires muscle tension etc which is not what you want to be doing with the hernia, you want relaxation of those muscles so the stomach can descend.
magic, thank you, God pay
Hello. I have clips from gallbladder removal surgery. Is this safe for me to try?
I don't know whether it i hiatal hernia.But some thick Saliva accumulate in the throat and it causes throat infection.When I did endoscopy,he said everything is ok.But with ur massage and sleeping on left, there's improvement.I have been having hyper acidity IBS, incomplete extretion etc for 30 Years.Dr Mandell I am 75 yrs young.ur great!pl advise thanks vijayaraghavan
Hello !! I have had a HH the discomfort I am having is when I sit to long at my table doing crafts that I notice the center of my chest begins to hurt along with the upper part of my back. I do take tums, and anti acid otc.. it does help a little. My GI doctor doesn’t seem to be to concerned. I don’t have gerd of any of the symptoms. I just get it after I sit to long and it has pressure. I have to stretch my body to a flat position to ease the discomfort. Do you think this exercise will help? Thank you so much for your help!! 🥰
I ask my doc what is this in the lower part of my chest between my breast it's a small lump that protrudes, he acts like he didn't want to tell me, he told me if it's not bothering me to leave it alone, of course, it must have been bothering me, It really gets painful when I do an upper body workout, will this hiatus hernia ever go away, Thank you!
Deborah Hopper get another doctor!!!
Can leaning forward to see the computer screen put pressure on your stomach and push it back up where it shouldn't be?
yes it definitely can, sit upright and fix posture
Yes!!! Especially if your overweight this will put pressure on all the gi tract. Also this can be caused by the mid back of all places. The ribs are attached there and wrap around to that area.
Lose weight, and fix posture. Pull back the shoulders, chest out, and chin up.
This is killing me but it's working
hello doctor I have a hiatal hernia of 3 cms, it is possible to cure the hernia, arrange it in its place again thanks doctor, I have gastroesophageal reflux
Thanks ❤
