Bloating means GAS and gas will come from all the acid blockers.
These drugs impair breakdown of protein, which then is fermented nastily in the intestines by bacteria. The gas will move up when high in the tract and will move down if lower.
It is a consequence of acid blocking drugs and really leads to more heartburn as the gas bubbles up and splashes the esophagus.

Gas-X? We have plenty of that here at home, in boxes! My husband is using it. The feeling of pressure is right in the middle below the breasts. (sorry, I dont know what exact words to use to point the exact spot.) Its the spot which I feel pressing my lungs which in turn giving me more shortness of breath.
Thank you Mrs.D!
