Brief Answer:
H pylori infection probably

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You seem to have Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach and duodenum. YOu need a Hydrogen breath test to confirm the same. Once confirmed treatment is easy and simple. Bloating seems to be because of the gases that is emited by the bacteria breaking the enzymes.
Please see a local primary care doctor for prescritpion of antibiotic, Proton pump inhibitors.

Over the counters do not help you need prescription strengths.
