What Causes Stomach Acid Reflux and Bloating?
Disease description:
I’ve even stopped eating spicy food. Recently, I’ve been experiencing acid reflux and gastric bloating. Could you please explain what exactly causes acid reflux and gastric bloating?
Hello,
Gastric acid reflux and abdominal bloating are common symptoms typically caused by excessive gastric acid secretion and indigestion. These symptoms are associated with impaired gastric motility, as well as gastric disorders such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers—and may also be linked to *Helicobacter pylori* infection. Patients should visit a hospital for gastroscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment may include prokinetic agents to enhance gastric motility, along with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to suppress gastric acid secretion.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
