Runny nose and hiatal hernia

Runny nose and hiatal hernia

Is there a connection between having a hiatal hernia and a runny nose while eating?  One of my clients says that he was told there is a connection.  Thanks.  Greg

I have heard similar comments and have wondered the same thing.  Has anyone heard that some gastric bypass procedures have cured the hiatal hernia problem and the runny nose issue?

I can speak from personal experince; had a gastric bypass and if I overeat or eat too fast and fill up, my nose starts to run. Had a hiatial hernia fixed twice, but because my pouch is smaller than a regular stomach, the runny nose still happens.
