What Could Cause Bloating Of Stomach?

Hi my daughter is 10 years old and everyday she gets very bloated and there is a lot of gas in stomach. Doctors have ruled out anything serious which is good she also seems to get a lot of headaches as we'll approximately 2 per. Month. Do you have any ideas of what is causing these problems. She is also mildly autistic

Thanks

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Its hard to give precise answer not knowing what exactly doctors have ruled out.
Symptoms described by you can be caused by several things including gastrointestinal infection, constipation due to bad diet, medicines or hypothyroidism or even partial bowels obstruction.
So she should have at least stool test, stool culture test, blood work, thyroid test, urine analysis, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal X-ray.
She should also have fiber rich diet and start probiotic intake.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
