How To Reduce Stomach Bloating?

I am 49 and have had a bloated stomach as long as I remember. I have skinny arms legs and bum and look quite ridiculous with this huge stomach. I have no pain whatsoever, my stomach is small in the morning but as soon as i drink something it swells enormously and continues throughout the day
I weigh 11 stone and am 5 ft 7 inches tall

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Drink plenty of water or other clear fluids to help reduce abdominal pain and bloating.
-Avoid pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
-Avoid solid foods for a few hours in favor of softer, bland foods such as rice or applesauce.
-Try gas-reducing medications, such as simethicone drops or digestive enzymes, to help relieve bloating.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help.
Kindly regards,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
