I've been having similar symptoms coughing bloated abdominal pain that radiates to the back,belching, and loose stools. The other night after a coughing fit I blacked out and fell face first into the coffee table. I went to the dr today and he said I had gerd bronchitis and strip throat. I can't eat I can't sleep. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Anyone have any incite on what I'm going through. I appreciate any feedback

i haven't had any carbonate drinks recently, and ive been drinking allot of water. i have been experiencing loss of apatite as well, but i will have been eating late at night. im gonna go get some OTC. is there anything else i should look to avoid?
Everything you listed is classic gerd. It could be other things, but gerd seems to be likely. What can cause gerd? From what you have said, stress could be the main culprit. What were you drinking when you get bloated? If it's anything carbonated or with caffiene in it then it makes the acid reflux worse. By not eating anything late at night before bed and adjusting what you eat, you can minimize it most likely.
You could also try prilosec which anyone can buy OTC at the pharmacy.
