Laying down after eating

I've heard that if you lay down after you eat, you run the risk of a hernia. Is this true? And if so, why?

I don't think so :) It is not real...
 
I started googling this yesterday and one thing I was finding is that a hiatal hernia (also known as diaphragmatic hernias — which form at the opening in your diaphragm where your food pipe joins your stomach.) can often exhibit similar symptoms of heartburn... and it's suggested that layinf down after a big meal be avoided...

Does it cause the hiatal hernia? nope...
