Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain gas and bloating along with heartburn can be due to causes like acid reflux, indigestion, constipation, intake of spicy and heavy meals while can also be due to chronic diseases like Crohns disease, irritable bowel syndrome etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like upperG.I Endoscopy, colonoscopy etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be adviised to take Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole or omeprazole, H2 blockers like Ranitidine, antacids, take more of yoghurt in diet as it is a probiotc, take small meals, avoid large meals and spicy food, drink plenty of water, do moderate workout, take walks after meals,, drinking warm water can help..
To prevent acid reflux sleep with head raised as compared to feet and recline in left lateral position..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
