    yes reflux does cause bloating as well as shortness of breath.. eating small amounts of food several times a day helps.. also dont wait till you are starving to eat.. carry crackers and eat a few if u cant eat.

    have you been to a GI doctor? You may have an ulcer or a stomach infection, have you had an endonoscopy done yet? I have constant acid coming up all day and all night I was diagnosed with h pylori and GERD, not going away may need to go back to doctor, it won't stop no matter what I do, I am also on meds for it they are not helping so far.

      they said all they can do is monitor it and they will only use the camera if it gets really bad because it is such an unpleasant procedure. however 3 nights in pain now. i cant see how this is all ibs and gerd 😕
