Hello,

The bloating could not be because of emergency contraceptive pill. You can practice following things for bloated abdomen.

-Avoid excess fatty foods
-Avoid excess carbonated drink intake.
-Fruits and green leafy vegetables taken more.
-Avoid stress and smoking.
-Gas forming foods should be restricted like turnip, cabbage etc. You can be prescribed Gelusil like syrup for gas and proper digestion.

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