Question: "Can you feel a hiatal hernia? Do they hurt?"

Dr. Mitchell’s Answer:
No - you cannot feel a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia occurs when the area where your esophagus attaches to your stomach becomes loose, allowing part of the stomach to slide up and down through the opening in the diaphragm. The hernia itself doesn’t hurt, and you can’t “feel” it moving.

In fact, many people with hiatal hernias have no symptoms at all. They’re often found incidentally during imaging or endoscopy done for other reasons.

When symptoms do happen, it’s usually because the lower esophageal sphincter doesn’t tighten as well, which can lead to:
Acid reflux
Heartburn
Regurgitation

Symptoms that worsen when bending over or after larger meals.

Hiatal hernias are extremely common:
About 50% of people have one by age 50
About 60% have one by age 60

Most are managed with lifestyle changes or reflux treatment rather than surgery!

We’re excited to share that we’ll soon be transitioning to a new scheduling and credit card processing system - a change we believe will better support both our patients and our staff.

We’re aiming to go live on January 1st. As with any new technology, there may be a few bumps along the way (we’re fully expecting at least one “why isn’t this clicking?” moment), and we appreciate your patience as we work through the transition.

Our team will be on hand to help, and we’re confident this update will make your experience even smoother once everything is up and running.

Thank you for bearing with us and for being part of our community.

Warmly,
The Gutwell Medical Team

December is peak holiday season - and your gut definitely feels it. Between busier schedules, richer meals, and the stress that naturally comes with the holidays, digestion can slow down and symptoms like bloating or reflux tend to flare.

Here’s the science in a nutshell:
When you’re stressed, your body shifts into “fight or flight,” which turns off healthy digestion. That means slower motility, reduced enzyme output, and more discomfort after meals.

This month’s Gut Tip is a simple one:
Take four slow breaths before you eat.
This activates your parasympathetic “rest and digest” system, helping your stomach, pancreas, and intestines function the way they’re supposed to. Even a tiny pause makes a noticeable difference in how comfortably you digest holiday meals.

Give it a try at your next gathering - you may be surprised by how something so small can feel so supportive!

You’ve all been so patient… and we’re thrilled to say the moment has finally arrived:

THE WHEY IS BACK! 🎉

Yes, after what felt like 47 years, 12 moons, and at least 3 collective emotional support snacks… our Whey Isolate and Whey Concentrate are officially back on the shelves and ready for purchase!

And guess what makes this even better?
We source our whey from New Zealand, home to some of the cleanest dairy in the world - grass-fed, high-quality, and pure. Add that to the fact that we cut out the middleman and designed this product from the ground up, you get elite quality without the elite price tag.

Thank you for hanging in there with us, cheering us on, and asking every week, “Is the whey back yet?”
Today… the answer is YES. 🙌

Stock up, shake it up, and enjoy - we missed it too.

As we close out the year, we have a few important updates to share with our Gutwell community.

A Team Update
Nicole has recently relocated to Salida and will no longer be seeing patients at Gutwell Medical. We’re grateful for the warmth, care, and expertise she brought to our team, and we wish her all the best on her new adventure. If you were working with Nicole or had upcoming visits planned, our team is here to support a smooth transition and ensure your care continues without interruption.

Holiday Hours
The holidays are quickly approaching, and we want to help you plan ahead.
Gutwell Medical will be closed on Christmas Eve (12/24) and Christmas Day (12/25).

Vascular Screening - December 5
Our next vascular screening day is scheduled for Friday, December 5th. These screenings are open to the public - you do not need to be a Gutwell patient to participate. You can choose one or all four screening options, depending on your needs and goals.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Gutwell community!
