HIATAL HERNIA HIATAL HERNIA
A Hiatal Hernia is when part of the stomach is above the diaphragm. The diaphragm normally separates the lungs from the bowels. When a hiatal hernia occurs this can weaken the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach, which allows acid to more easily enter the esophagus and give heartburn. Almost one half of adults will have a Hiatal Hernia.		 HIATAL HERNIA HIATAL HERNIA
