What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bloating?

Hello, I’m a 65 yr old female. I’ve been experiencing pain in the middle of my stomach. Diarrhea after eating. The pain is uncomfortable and is right under my rib cage in the middle. I’m always feeling bloated.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there’s a charge. I’ll contact my PCP. Thank you.

-Use Buscopan for the pain
- Limit your intake of carbonated drinks.
