Hi Dave, Cut out all starches & sugars which will stop the bloating & do not eat when you are upset, also take the following supplements to help with digestion:-Betaine HCL & digestive enzymes.Replied by Prioris (Fl) on 10/29/2013
Baking Soda in water should be able knock out the heartburn. Use as much as needed. I had heart burn for decades and it has vurtually disappear4e3d once I started doing that. To me, bloating is essentially gas. long term bloating is an indication that you have brewing bacteria in your stomach that is out of control.
For quick short term relief, you can bend at waste while sitting to push the gas out.
When I was in early stages of developing diverticulitis, I had long term gas problem. I ignored it. I thought it was something everyone got and should not be concerned about.
When I realized I had diverticulitis, I used AMP Aloe Muciliginous Polysaccharide capsules. It is a natural antibiotic. It resolved the problem. You may not necessarily need AMP but something to bring down the culprit bacteria. Maybe Baking Soda will address this also.
I think stuff you're doing now is also good. I think you it is good to come at problem from different angles. The heartburn is the higher priority to address given the burning it causes.

On my large bag of BS, for indigestion, it cautioned to measure exactly: 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda to 1/2 Cup water.
