<s>[INST] Hi My daughter is 13 months old.  At 3 weeks she was diagnosed with GORD.  She has been on losec since 6 weeks.  She has always had bloating of the stomach this started when she was about 3 weeks of age.  She has never slept properly. We put her on an asthma preventer a few weeks back as they think she has early signs of asthma. Last week she was hospitalised with bronchiolitis and underlying asthma. She has responded really well to the meds steroid, preventer and ventolin.  Funny since the steroids/or high dose of ventolin her bloating has eased and she is sleeping much better.  Could the bloating be related to the asthma and breathing issues? or is it more likely to be an inflammation of the stomach?  Any thoughts would be appreciated. [/INST] HI, thanks for using healthcare magicGERD is one of the triggers for asthma, uncontrolled GERD can cause worsening of asthma symptoms.This is the connection between the two. Asthma does not usually worsen gerd, just the other way around.I hope this helps </s>
