Question : Have severe acidity for a long time. Taking antacids or medicines like pantaprazole, rabiprazole etc provides temporary relief.
Recent past, I've developed severe gas trouble as well along with heart burn, burping and acidity.
General lifestyle: No alcohol/smoking. Non-spicy home food almost every day (very rarely eat outside).
Any suggestions/medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
You need to take medication at least for 4 weeks continuously.
You told that you take Pantoprazole when you get acidity.
I suggest you Pantoprazole with domperiodne combination like Pan D twice in a day 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner for 4 weeks.
If you feel better within 5 days then continue it for 4 weeks.
If not then I suggest you visit a Gastroenterologist to rule out the cause liek gastritis or Helico bacter infection. Doctor may advice endoscopy if needed.
It is good that your maintain your diet.
along with I suggest you take Yougurt, curd or butter milk.
Do not skip meals.
Do not eat late night food.
Do not eat food 2 hours before going bed.
Do not take over the counter pain killers often those can increase acidity.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
