Hi Bre, I'm new here too and I'm in Pa.( New Galilee) You've written to me. As for upper GI. Yes I can relate to all that. I had a colonoscopy (without the sound track lol)and also endoscopy. I'm supposed to be on Nexium. Have you had an endoscopy? I developed Barretts Esophagus(can't spell it) it is caused from years of reflux.I get severe gastric distention even in upper stomach. I have an appt today and I'm going to ask for Zelnorm.I finally realized I had Bentyl and it helped the spasms a LOT! But the severe bloat is very uncomfortable not to mention have to have a back-up plan for what to wear to go sing because when I'm that bloated a lot of clothes don't fit.Anyway, I know exactly how you feel I think. I used to drink baking soda water because it will release gas instantly, but it's sooo high in sodium it's realy not a good idea at all so I don't do it anymore. Years ago a doctor gave me these tiny pills you disolve under your tongue for gas. I don't remember what it was but it did work, and quickly.You might ask your doctor about it. Be Blessed ~ Pat
