What Causes Abdominal Bloating?

Thank you. I am a 47 year old, somewhat fit male. I noticed that I don t eat much, and what I do, I eat pretty healthy, the thing is I can be hungry, but the slightest bit of food suddenly makes me feel bloated and distended. I do have a Hyperactive thyroid.

Hello,

Hyperthyroidism may cause loose stools.

But it may also due to food intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems or infections or malabsorption syndromes etc.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Pantoprazole. Use tablet Normaxin.

Get thyroid function under control. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
