Constant Heartburn, Indigestion, and Bloating what could be causing these symptoms?

by Symptom Advice on January 18, 2011

I have not consulted a physician yet, but I probably should.

For the past 6 months or so, I have been experiencing symptoms of heart burn, indigestion, and bloating everyday. It just started coming on and I have no idea why.

Usually it does not occur in the morning and I become bloated easily after lunch. I've been eating much smaller portions, however they have helped, but hardly any.
I have also been taking tums and other medicines meant to help slow the problem, but of course I still get indigestion eventually afterwords.

Most oftenly though, I get indigestion when eating proteins and low glycemic foods as well as dairy products.

Any advice or suggestions? do you have, or have you ever had a similar condition?

Here are triggers for heartburn: smoking, alcohol consumption, heavy meal, eating too fat, and eating then go to bed immediately.
