What Causes Constant Bloating?

For the past month, I have been constantly getting stomach bloating. I am not sure if I am eatting certain food that gave me these symptoms (gases). I have a habit of eatting oatmeal every morning. Anything related to this that made me feel worse now? What should I try to eat to prevent bloating?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Stop oatmeal and see if the bloating gets controlled.

There are many reasons for bloating:
• Aerophagia, particularly due to stress and anxiety.
• Foods particularly nuts of any origin can cause gas and bloating.
• Subacute intestinal infection with overgrowth of gas-producing bacteria and can be cured by a course of an antibiotic.
• Intolerance to certain foods and beverages that you have to find out.
• Take probiotics, eat and drink slowly, and no aerated drinks.

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

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
