Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes it may cause gastritis with bloating abdomen or it may be due to cholestasis lead to indigestion and jaundice. Weight gain is also a side effect of this drug, so you can avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
