Abdominal exercises and Hiatal (Stomach) Hernias

[HotSauceJunky]

What type of abdominal exercises can individuals with hiatal hernias do?

Swiss Ball Crunches and oblique crunches touching the knee are oK?

I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and my Dr. said nothing special needed about exercises. He knows I lift but didn't seem to feel it would interfere with abdominal exercises at all.

In practice I did find that leg lifts lying on my stomach on the bench made my midsection feel weird so I avoid those.
