Most likely reflux: You most likely have acid reflux and increased gas build up. You may have an associated hiatal hernia. If not tried, I would recommend Pepcid (famotidine) over the counterr, 20 mg. Take it daily for the next 2 weeks and monitor your symptoms. It is ok to take an antacid as well ( Maalox, Gaviscon,etc). if needed. If no improvement, please see your doctor
