Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately.
Based on the history you have shared, the bloating and gastric symptoms can be due to acid peptic disease however elbow pains are likely due to any other cause and may not be related.
To start with, basic blood workup to look for hemoglobin levels and liver functions can be done. Meanwhile antacids like omeperazole or pantoprazole before meals alongwith motility agents like domperidone which can speed up gastric emptying and reduce flatulence and bloating. Avoid fizzy drinks and, spicy or greasy meals. Soft diets for fee days would be a better option. Avoid lying supine just after the meal should be avoided.
For elbow pain, OTC analgesics like acetaminophen can be used for few days and if it is due to some nerve or bone origin it may resolve spontaneously but If it persists then a detailed work up including Xrays and uric acid levels may be needed.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope this has answered your query, If you have any more questions, feel free to
