Hello, @cindychesler, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We have members who have talked about all the conditions you've mentioned - IBS (diarrhea), GERD, diverticulosis and hiatal hernia - so I'd like to introduce you to a few of them here: @safetyshield @falconfly @peabody88 @suez @musicflowers4u. I trust that they will have some input for you as you seek to determine the best way to eat with this combination of diagnoses.

Here is some guidance from Mayo Clinic on diet individually addressing the conditions you mentioned:

@cindychesler - has your physician in gastroenterology or a dietician offered guidance on an appropriate eating plan customized to your mix of diagnoses?
