i'm pretty sure mine is not acid reflux, even though i don't have acid reflux i have taken reflux med(gel) & i still felt the burps coming up.
Yes, i have a decent bloat even when eating very little food
Just for information PPI in most people don't totally eliminate acid reflux but just reduce it.
I'm one of those and obviously you can't take PPI for extended period (even if someone say that are safe) so I decided to don't take them anymore. Also I don't really saw bb improvement.
The bloating and the "air reflux" seems like SIBO related as you though, have you talked to a specialist?
Also if you haven't done a breath test for SIBO and a dysbiosis test, you should.
i actually tested positive for SIBO & the treatment has reduced my breath by almost 50% i would say, my bb no longer travels long distances, only detectable if i'm talking really close with someone. i don't want to celebrate this since it could come back with full force after a few weeks(this happens to a lot of people taking antibiotics).
I haven't taken dysbiosis test yet, i might do it next, but right now i'm trying to fast for a couple of days to see if i can starve out the remaining bacteria
cured!
It was Klebsiella spp., Citrobacter freundii, C diff. infections with no symptoms.

Which kind of sibo you tested positive? Hydrogen, Methane or both?
i tested positive for both, +21 Hydrogen & +8 Methane then i started herbal antibiotics (berberine, neem, pomegranate, allicin, oregano & black cumin seed) all in capsule forms.
even though its reduced now, i still can't talk directly to someone face, i have to look away, as soon as i face their direction its not good, so i still have to look into something else.
