Dear- thanks for using our service, I will give you my medical advise. Umbilical hernia without pain does not require surgery. However, bloating can aggravate it. You need to avoid vegetables like broccoli,cauliflower and lettuce and carbonated drinks .Probiotics and enzyme supplements help to control gas and bloating,which will be advisable to add in your diet.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
