I'm pretty sure I had a semi-severe case of hiatal hernia, but when the doctor shoved a camera down my throat to check, he actually fixed it by accidentally pushing the hernia down :D

Most of my worst symptoms went away after the checkup, but it took a LONG while for my digestive tract to fully heal. I couldn't burp at all for ... maybe two years, the pressure just stayed in my stomach. Drinking small amounts of fizzy drinks and rising on my toes + slamming my heels down got the air out sometimes.

There are still things I can't eat because they instantly irritate my reflux, buttery pastries being the worst ones.

It's interesting you say that, because since I had a camera shoved down my throat two years ago I haven't had symptoms until last week (I was ~35km into a 40km bike ride and it was a VERY sudden onset during a climb).

I'll talk to my GP this week when I see him.
