Aug 24, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Abdominal bloating is a condition in which the abdomen feels uncomfortably full and tight and may be visibly swollen (distended)

The symptoms of bloating can be vague and difficult to pinpoint, but most people describe an uncomfortable feeling of fullness, tightness, or swelling in the abdomen. This can be accompanied by pain, excessive gas (flatulence), frequent burping or belching, and abdominal rumbling.

simple causes might be
swallowing air--constipation--heartburn--eating too fast---weight gain--menstruation --some medications--sugar substitutes (fructose and sorbitol)----irritable bowel syndrome---intolerance to dairy products----overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel----giardiasis (intestinal parasites)

serious causes include :
>fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites) as a result of cancer, liver disease, kidney failure, congestive heart failure, and other disorders
>celiac disease (wheat gluten intolerance)
>ovarian cancer
>pancreatic insufficiency (impaired digestion because the pancreas cannot produce enough digestive enzymes)

However ,In many cases, the symptoms of abdominal bloating can be diminished or even prevented by adopting a few simple lifestyle changes.

>>Don’t chew gum. Chewing gum can cause you to swallow extra air, which in turn can lead to bloating.
>>Limit your intake of carbonated drinks.
>>>Avoid “gassy” foods, such vegetables in the cabbage family, dried beans, and lentils.
>>Eat slowly.
>>Avoid drinking through a straw.
>>Lose weight if you are overweight.
>>Use lactose-free dairy products.
>>you can drink ""kammmon ,peppermint, spearmint and basil,grean tea ,ginger ,...

HOwever ,the most common cause if you had no other symptoms are simple causes .if you had mild fluctuating bowel movements diarrhea and constipation sometimes related to stress and allergies beside fullness and bloating you might have irritable bowel syndrome .

if you feel pain after meals and fullness it may be >>Indigestion it is is pain and burning in the upper abdomen, an feeling of fullness after a meal, belching, and gas

indigestion, is a condition of impaired digestion. It is a medical condition characterized by chronic or recurrent pain in the upper abdomen, upper abdominal fullness and feeling full earlier than expected when eating. It can be accompanied by bloating, belching, nausea, or heartburn. Dyspepsia is a common problem and is frequently caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastritis. In a small minority it may be the first symptom of peptic ulcer disease .

in my opinion look for food allergies ,types of food you eat ,indigestion,inproper diet that is causing bloated stomach and check with the doctor for the possible causes if you are not relieved .
