Hello Suzette,
If the Protonix is not reducing your reflux symptoms, it is best to check in with the prescribing doctor. Is bloating a new symptom? It could be related to reflux, constipation, food intolerance (lactose intolerance) or slow digestion. Have you tried eating small, more frequent meals? I have had a lot of success with introducing probiotics for a few weeks too.
