>>>>>The hernia, which is actually a tear through the diaphragm and the stomach is pushing up through this tear. And it can definitely contribute to acid reflux/GERD.

Aha, I see. Hmmm... kefir will help with acid reflux, right?

>>>>>The breastbone is the sternum. If you follow it down there will be a sharp point on the bottom, which is the xyphoid process (xyphi sternum).

Unless you are in Australia, and thus upside down, you found the bottom of the sternum and where the diaphragm is at. It runs along the base of the ribcage, but the area you are looking for is right at the base of the sternum (breastbone) where you will feel that little point (xyphoid process).

Upside down? Australia is? Oh so i should just move my fingers up until I encounter a bony area. Gee...

Hmmm... darn, let me slowly figure out this one. I never learned anatomy in school so this may take a while. Breatbone = bone in between my 2 breasts so... wait, how do I tell if it's "sharp" since it's buried under the flesh?

Interesting... I don't have a strongbox so maybe the bed will have to do. It's going to hurt a bit though.

So basically, what will happen is that my diaphragm will heal itself right?Please, tell me it will heal? I just don't really want to undergo surgery(I've got some allergies, very minor bronchitis and other medical conditions which might worsen.) 'cos I believe that is best reserved for a last resort when everything else has failed.
