What Causes Persistent Stomach Bloating And Diarrhea?
i have had a very bloated stomach & for a couple weeks now. My stool is not solid it s been loose bowels. I am passing some gas however, not like I use too...I have had very tight spasms on my right side of my belly button. Atfter I eat I feel so full. I have had a few bowel obstructions in the past. One did require surgery. Sould I get an ultra sound? I am afraid it s another obstruction.

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to a gastroenteritis. I suggest using an over the counter option to treat diarrhea such as Imodium. I also suggest using Simethicone medications three times a day for the bloating. If the symptoms continue, you should do the abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
