Digestion issues: Not a cause for concern but, sounds like digestive issues. Poor diets can lead to problems with proper acid production. The food passes into the small intestines with poor breakdown and produces more gas which in turn causes the bloating and flatulance. I would suggest a meal time digestive aid such as papaya or betaine HCL to see if the helps. Foods that need less breakdown can also help. FRESH!

Reflux: No cause for concern for now. Reflux is normal. It becomes a disease when it significantly interrupts normal activity, or damages organs such as the esophagus. Dietary and lifestyle chnges can help, as can medication and on some cases a procedure, endoscopic or surgical. Its probably worth a visit with your primary care to discuss your case in detail. Hope this helps!
