What Causes Constant Stomach Bloating?

I have constant stomach bloating. Have difficulty passing out gas. Sometimes very excessive gas. I was diagnosed with Hiatal hernia and GERD. Although I dont feel heartburn. But gets aggravated after spicy food and fizzy drinks. Imused to take nuxium before but now taking Zantac and Protium. The problem is that it comes back after a while and it seems like a never ending story. What could it be and am I taking the right medication?

Hello
I share your concern
You are taking right medicines, you need not to worry much
In my opinion nexium is better than zantac

Apart from medicines I would advise you following life style and dietary modifications
Don't lie down immediately after food
Have small and frequent meals
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
Avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
Complete abstinence of alcohol and smoking
Try to reduce body weight if you are overweight or obese.

Hope this helps you
Please feel free to ask for more clarification, I will be happy to help you
wish you good health
