Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

So sorry to hear about your problem and will try my level best to resolve it to the best of my knowledge and experience..

As per your query bloated feeling after meals is due to excessive formation and accumulation of intestinal gases leading to distended and bloated abdomen along with discomfort and at times you can also feel nausea and difficulty in breathing..

It can occur due to causes like Intake of certain foods,Eating too fast that can entrap excess of air, Lactose intolerance, excess intake of dairy,Diseases like Crohn's Disease,Bacterial infection in intestines, Constipation, Frequent chewing of chewing gums and sucking candies, Excess intake of dairy etc..

As it is a chronic cause you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you investigations like Endoscopy, blood tests, stool culture etc to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the cause can resolve the problem..

-As you are doing regular workouts it is a good practice..
-You should also take walk after meals..
-You should take small portions of food every 2 hours.
-Avoid heavy and large fatty meals..
-You should also limit intake of frizzy drinks, smoking and excess chewing gums..
-You can take Simethicone as it help in reducing intestinal gas..
-Activated charcoal pills can be helpful..
-Drink sufficient water..
-chew your food slowly and properly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
