Yes, it is okay to drink in moderation when you have a hernia. If the hernia is hiatal, then acid drinks are not good to drink all the time.

What are the types of hernia?

The different kinds of hernia are listed below: * Congenital hernia: occur in babies, present from birth. * Inguinal hernia: common in sportsmen, involves part of the bowel protrudibng into the groin * Hiatus hernia: involves the stomach, where it enters the chest cavity via the hiatus. * Incarcerated hernia: where the hernia has swollen up. * Reducible hernia: one that can be manipulated back into place easily, much like a dislocated joint can be repositioned with relative ease. * Irreducible hernia: can't be returned to its original position without surgical intervention. * Strangulated hernia: potentially fatal, as it means the bood supply has been cut off by the hernia. There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]


What are some ways to help relieve a hernia?

One way to relieve a hernia is to brew and drink chamomile tea. This herb has been known to help soothe some of the pain associated with hernias. Another way to relieve a hernia is to apply ice the the affected area and allow it to stay in position for about twenty minutes, and then take the ice off for about twenty minutes. Its good to repeat this process three times a day.
