Brief Answer:
Try oral medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Have seen your details and i appreciate your concerns,
Before going on injectables you can take oral tablet omeprazole 40 mg.
Along with it take activated charcoal tablets.They would absorb gases and would help you with bloating.
If not relieved Pantoprazole injections can be taken.
Thanks!
