What Causes The Stomach To Bloat?
Hi, my daughter is 4 years old and she oftentimes has a very bloated stomach. She is super skinny in the morning, but as the day progresses her stomach gets more and more bloated. She does not complain of stomach pain, nor does she have problems emptying her bowels; however she passes gas very frequently. Any idea what is going on with her? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic
Does she drink a lot of milk or milk products?
I would suggest either cut down on those items or add LACTASE drops to milk before you give her milk. The lactose in milk might be causing this problem. Also get the child's stool tested for Reducing substances,
Hope this helps
