Dr. Rao in BR.

He is by far the best.

The Metairie Gastroenterology group at EJ is good. You don’t need to drive Baton Rouge for that

Go see someone for sure but it sounds a lot like reflux and possibly a hiatal hernia.

fwiw, PPIs can make you feel bloated. What do you think your stomach does with all that food it can't digest as quickly due to lack of acid production?

In my experience, if it isn't cancer or some type of colon issue, it's just gonna be written off as IBS/reflux.
