Considerations would include the various causes of dyspepsia (GERD, ulcers or inflammation of the upper digestive tract). Gallbladder disease as well as irritable bowel syndrome can also lead to increased bloating. Needless to say, marked soda intake can lead to bloating.
I would consider an upper GI series or upper endoscopy as an initial first test - this would evaluate for many of the disorders mentioned. The liver/gall bladder can be evaluated with an ultrasound and this option can be discussed with your personal physician.
If everything is negative, you may want to discuss irritable bowel syndrome as a possibility.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.

Good heavens lilbum!!!! I finally found someone who drank more pop than me!!!! Thank God you have changed your diet and I can only hope you changed it for the better. I, like you, was a junk food junkie and it caught up with me as well. Eat lots of clean fresh vegetables, as well as organic meats. Drink lots of water and give yourself time to heal. No sugar!!!!! And that might be hard for you after all the sugar and high fructose corn syrup you've had. My health crash was a wake up call. I hope you get better quick. You're definitely on the right track by changing what you are consuming. I suggest you look into probiotics at your local health food store.
