Having had this pain, I found a chiropractor in Santa Barbara : Dr Archie Allen. He adjusted my stomach and put me on a protein enzyme pill to take before meals. Apparently there are very few people who do this adjustment. Mine was turning into a hiatical hernia, this adjustment will also help acid reflux..Hopefully this info will help someone, I know I am living life better.There is a dr in Laguna Beach, I do not know his name.
