Hello,

You may be suffering from bloating of the stomach. Which may be due to gastritis or food intolerence or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems or infections or malabsorption syndromes etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. avoid gluten and lactose contain food.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Take care

Regards,
