Let us see the commonest causes of bloating:
Aerophagia means inadvertent swallowing of the air which in turn can be due to anxiety and many other causes.
Mild form of enteritis where the balance between normal bacterial flora and the gas producing bacteria is disturbed.
Gas producing foods and beverages. Certain foods and aerated beverages can give more bloating ; you will have to find such things and stop taking them.
Some medical disorders like Gall bladder stones also can cause bloating- Ultrasonography helps to diagnose these.
Consult a Gastroenterologist , get clinical examination and investigations to find the cause and get treated accordingly.
