Question : Hi, I have had stomach issues since I was born. My problem is my upper belly feels to bloat and swell and causes a burning pain through my esphogus (or it feels like) for no apparent reason. Some
Days it's fine and others it bothers me all day. I have had a HIDA scan done to check gallbladder and liver function and it was normal. What could this be? What can I do to get relief. I do have acid reflux but I am on medication for that.
