What Causes Severe Abdominal Bloating After Eating?

I feel bloating mostly concentrated on my upper right abdomen after eating. I also feel discomfort on my upper right abdomen as I lift something off the ground, but no major pain and the discomfort goes away almost immediately after I am upright. At first I thought it might be gallstones or a hernia, but I think I would be in a lot more pain if that were the case. I had been working in a job that requires a lot of lifting. I left the job on June 1st and the discomfort began on June 6th and has been on and off ever since. My current job is a desk job. Let me know what you think.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to accumulation of gas secondary to increased acid production in the stomach.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) & antacid gel (to be taken after meals).
They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief.

And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle:
1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration
3. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.
4. Avoid smoking & alcohol
5. Keep away stress, think positive.
6. Exercise regularly & practice meditation.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist for proper clinical examination.

Wishing you a good health
Take care
