HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The ulcer would be one of the likely reasons for the bloating.
The continued use of anti reflux medication should help with the bloating.
In addition, you need to look at the fruits and vegetables that you are using.
There are some fruits and vegetables that are associated with increase gas production eg broccoli, cabbage, turnips, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, apples, prunes
I hope this helps
