That is the definition of a hernia...and if you've had one, nobody has to tell you a thing.

But........is surgery the answer? The ONLY answer? Me thinks not.

I've been trying to track down an ASIAN TEA that when drunk (supposedly) will PULL BACK IN the loop of a hernia by shortening or retracting by making the intestine pull back onto itself, thus pulling the loop back in. If this could be so, and so simple a remedy, who wants the OR in that case?

I think this journey to find THE ANSWER, or an alternative to major medical-intervention thinking might and could be put on hold. Worth the try.

When I find this ASIAN TEA, I'll post it for all!
