Hi,
If there is no improvement with lansoprazole, You can go for urea breath test for H. pylori infection. Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy will be required if UBT comes comes negative. As bloating and belching are also seen in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. For severe symptoms you can take IV shots of pantoprazole and buscopan or tramadol.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
