Suggest Treatment For Severe Acid Reflux And Abdominal Pain

As discussed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history in a female of 23 of having painful gases, burping, distension of abdomen and weight gain. Tried Gelusil.
As per the short history you have provided, this may be due to the following reasons:
Sub- clinical gastroenteritis causing overgrowth of gas producing bacteria.
Sub- acute intestinal obstruction.
Anxiety and/ or stress causing aerophagia.
I would advise you the following:
Give additional history related to type of bowel movements and any other symptoms.
Clinical evaluation to get a probable cause hence allowing appropriate antibiotics, symptomatic and supportive therapy. Needs valid prescription too by your Doctor.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position
Tests of stool, blood and urine.
Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen and other tests as may be needed.
