What Causes Bloating In The Upper Abdomen?

hi im having some stomach discomfort....i feel bloated. when i take a deep breath i feel some discomfort in the upper stomach area (as if i were full)...when i try to go to the bathroom...smaller turds than usuall come out...it feels as if i were constipated but..the turds are not hard...i also after eating meals feel like burping...but its difficult and when i do it sometimes brings food up. i guess the feeling in my stomach can feel like a large air bubble...

Hi,

You may have small bowel bacterial overgrowth. You should see your general practitioner for a breath test and possibly antibiotics.

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

Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
