What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Bloating?
ver the last two/three months I have been getting little flare ups when my stomach bloats to where my stomach feels like it is stretching out of my skin, my stomach feels hard, and it is painful. Bloating feels so bad that a pair of jeans that fits well before the bloating happens feels as if I wont be able to button the jeans back up. When I touch my stomach area it sends pain throughout the whole area. It is also painful to sit down, but the pain doesn t make it comfortable to stand. The length that is last will vary

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe abdominal pain and bloating. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like appendicitis , consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli , crohn’s disease , gastroenteritis , irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infection . I would suggest you to avoid above mentioned foods , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals .If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe ornidazole , omeprazole , laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
