Is holding back gas bad for you?

If you have gas in excess, it could point to digestive disorders. In any case, the gas will come out sooner or later, but if you prevent yourself from burping, it can add to heartburn and GERD related issues. If you have gas the other way, it can contribute to the discomfort of conditions such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). In any case, it will not permanently harm your health, but it's better to find a way to gradually release the gas during a noisier part of the dinner party. After all, we all get gas at some time. You're not the only one!

My GI tract is messed up to where my muscle that allows food to go down won't open all the time.:/ it is hard to eat half the time but I try my best to eat a good meal.

What hot drinks do not cause acid reflux?

Everyone may be a little different in what does and does not trigger acid reflux. For myself, I can not consume any coffee or real teas, even the caffeine free varieties will trigger reflux for me. Some people find that hot cocoa is a trigger (both milk and chocolate are triggers for some people). However, I'm fortunate enough to be able to drink hot cocoa with no reflux. Chamomile tea (herbal tea - not a real tea) is a safe drink for most with acid reflux - as it is also used as a mild relaxant and stomach soothing drink. I prefer my Chamomile tea with a splash of milk and a tiny bit of sugar. Do not drink peppermint tea, however, since it will generally relax the muscle that allows the acid to come up - and you'll experience reflux again. (Strangely, I have no issue with peppermint candies - only tea - but peppermint is supposed to be universally unaccepted by people with real GERD). Some hot apple cider (not the alcoholic variety) with or without spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and/or nutmeg can be non-triggering - but I wouldn't drink too many cups in one sitting since apple juice / cider is a bit acidic.

Many people like the coffee alternative drinks called Pero and Caffix and some others. I can not stand the taste - but supposedly they do not trigger reflux. Postum was another safe alternative drink, however it has been discontinued (end of 2007) by Kraft foods after about 100 years of availability.

Some herbal teas also may be safe - but try to avoid any that contain citrus peel, as I've personally found them irritating.

Wish I could name more safe drinks. It's difficult.
