What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Pain?

for about a month now, I have experienced bloating in my abdominal section. It s very uncomfortable and even though I exercise fairly regularly, my stomach looks to have lost the muscle definition I am used to seeing. Occasionally, there is pain in my stomach but it isn t sharp, more like a slight pain. It doesn t matter if I m just waking up or leaving the bathroom, it doesn t seem to go away. After eating the bloating feels worse and I fill up quicker on less food. I am a 36 year old male. My diet isn t anything special, I eat whatever I feel like but am not overweight at all. I am physically fit with good muscle tone.

Hallow Shreeman,

From your history, you appear to be suffering from some intestinal infestation. It could be amoebic or could be worms. If you get your stools examined, the diagnosis can be clear.

For stools examination, take an overnight purge. Discard the first motion sample and collect the last portion of second motion.

It is found that sometimes the infestations are missed in the stools sample. I would advise you still to go for anti-amoebic and anti-worms treatment.

Medicines on amoebiasis do increase the acidity. You might have to take antacids along with.

I hope I have given you sufficient clue. Now report to your Physician to get the prescription and get cured.
