A Sensitivity to Gluten Could Trigger Hiatal Hernia Syndrome

In this video, Dr. Vikki Petersen discusses a new possibility: can gluten trigger Hiatal Hernia Syndrome? She explains that both celiac disease and gluten sensitivity can cause inflammation and leaky gut, leading to increased intra-abdominal pressure—a major contributor to hiatal hernia. Many people suffer from gluten-related issues without realizing it, as symptoms can range from digestive distress to neurological and psychiatric complaints like brain fog, depression, and anxiety. Dr. Petersen emphasizes the importance of testing for gluten sensitivity, as missing this hidden trigger can prevent proper healing. She encourages viewers to seek accurate testing and root-cause solutions for lasting health improvements.
