Iâm hoping to have an indoor party with some friends in August, and I think Iâm going to serve some of Hoodâs new Savory Cottage Cheese in a martini glass, and then put a cracker on the side, and serve with a basket of additional crackers for dipping nearby. A fun way to present an appetizer.
1 Antioxidant-rich vegetables, such as carrots, red bell peppers, and broccoli are excellent choices as well.  Lean meats and fish: Turkey, salmon, ground beef, skinless chicken breast, and certain types of fish (i.e. cod and mackerel) are the go-to choices for protein in the hiatal hernia diet.
I have a hiatal hernia and it does cause pain sometimes. For me the pain is in the middle right below my sternum just like you described except that the pain does not radiate into my back. I find that when it starts to hurt it sometimes helps to take an extra prevacid and watch what I am eating.
