Hi There,
Actually NO. IBS may cause bloated stomach but not heartburn.
For your heartburn:
Solutions for acid reflux involve making lifestyle changes such as avoiding certain foods, losing weight, stopping smoking and exercising regularly.
Avoid the overuse of over-the-counter medications such as antacids, anti-gas or ant-flatulence drugs, oral suspension and H-2 receptor blockers as they may cause side effects such as constipation and diarrhea.
