Hi i recently have been taking ppi's for the past month for acid reflux and my stomach is always hard and bloated and trouble going to bathroom? help!

More the reflux: What you describe is more than acid reflux. Did your doctor evaluate you and prescribe your PPI or was this a self diagnosis and treatment? Your diagnosis needs to be reconsidered. Please see your doctor for appropriate evaluation of your symptoms and describe them just as you did here. A thorough evaluation and work up is needed. Hope this helps. Best of luck. Dr R
