    You could have an intolerance to certain food types.

    Maybe try changing the diet would help. Try fruits instead of biscuits and chocolate etc

    Bread always bloats me

    Like Nicola says, you may have to re-think your diet. Much of what you are eating is what i term as being 'heavy' food.

    Biscuits and chocolate especially.

    What do you have on your sandwiches?

    honeyp1e every thing you wrote describes me,but i dont eat junk or chocolates or fizzy drink,and i could go with out food all day because i never feel hungry,but i also get real bad heart burn,more when i wake up in the morning.i get pain on my right hand side under the rib cage,the pain is sharp and can last up to an hour some days its fine and some days its back again,i am getting stressed thinking its my liver,and the other thing i dont drink water at all,and i also only drink one cup of tea a day..i dont know what it could be.

    bloatedness (with this i get lump in throat like acid or something in is my throat)
    sore lump in throat

    No the best way is through a special diet elimination plan to restrict food groups and then see how it goes.

    I was doing a google search to find out why ive had unusual bloating in the past week , and I came across this post , so I registered just to leave a reply.

    This sound like it could be a checklist of symptoms I wrote myself whenever I have a flare-up.
    I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia about a year ago , which I believe was caused by strenuous cycling because when you go up hills , you pull on the handlebars and tense the stomach , so something popped up while I was straining.
    I had the berium meal because I didnt want the camera.
    If you are diagnosed with a hernia , dont worry yourself too much. As long as you eat sensibly , dont overeat , dont smoke or drink , it shouldnt cause you too many problems.
    Im normal most of the time , but had bloating in the mornings . Just had the doctor out and she prescribed calpermin to ease the tight muscle just under the solar plexus.
    Try not to panic and good luck.
