General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Bloating can be due to different possible causes such as: (1) constipation
(2)celiac disease
(3)reflux- treated with meds such as nexium, prevacid, protonix, prilosec
(4)use of gas producing foods- broccoli, cabbage, turnips, cauliflower, beans, carbonated drinks
(5)lactose intolerance
(6)food intolerance

If you use any of these foods then reducing the use may help or if you have a history of any of these conditions then treatment should help.

I hope this helps
