I've been on RabletD for about 20 years now to manage really bad burning acidity after meals. I know it's Rabeprazole and Domperidone, but I'm still having this bloating issue. Could it be that I have a wheat allergy that's causing the bloating? What should I do about this?

Yes if there was any obstruction it would have resulted into dysphasia or dyspnea

I've been really worried since I had this scary episode last night. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, and when I did, I ended up throwing up a lot of blood. It happened four times, and the last one had a dark brown color while the others were dark red. I also had a huge coughing fit. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?
