What Causes Excessive Abdominal Bloating Along With Lower Back Pain?

Good afternoon. I have recently been bothered with excessive bloating, lower back pain, irritated sensitive eyes, lack of appetite and general lack of energy. Tingle sensation on tips of some toes. I am a highly motivated professional and of late my activity level and endurance has waned. I am 5 6 generally weigh around 105 lbs and as far as I know healthy. No meds, no surgeries. Non-smoker. I have not had labs yet. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern . As per your query you have excessive abdominal bloating along with lower back pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome , gas pains , gastroenteritis , giardiasis , constipation , lactose intolerance , ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan , ultrasound , stool test and endoscopy. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , laxative , antibiotics like ornidazole and albendazole. Avoid intake of large meals at a time and take small and frequent meals. For now eat light , avoid non spicy and heavy food , drink plenty of water and eat fibrous diet . The symptoms can also occur due to UTI . Also apply warm compresses on abdomen and back . Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
