What Causes Excessive Stomach Bloating?

Have stomach.Feels like gas because any time I bend over or move my stomach hurts.Had several bowel movements in the past 12 hours. Soft stools but not diareah They smelled like perm solution. Pain started around midnight and now at 4pm still have stomach pain but not as severe. Cannot walk at speed I normally do due to the pain. What could it be? Had appendectomy when I was 17. Had a hysterectomy 4 months ago. This is the second time this had happened

I appreciate your concern
This could be due to Aerophagia (swallowing of air) may be due to smoking, alcohol, ill fitting denture or consumption of carbonated drinks
Other possibility is

Please rule out the above mentioned causes of Aerophagia
if it persists even after that than.please consult a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy
You may need anti acidity medicines like PPI group as pantoprazole and antacids
Avoid smoking and alcohol
