Lately feeling blotted in my stomach as having to much to eat. But, that’s the the case I typically have lite meals. Also, I wake up in the morning feeling blotted and after excerise it sometimes disappears. I have regular bowl movements. I do not have any spicy foods. Any thoughts.

Hello,

Certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating it may be sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.

So, you should do gastroenterological work up but first try to change your dietary habits, it means eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.

Also, there are medications such as Flobian, Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue. If there is no improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing.

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

Regards,
