Hello!
Thank you for trusting HCM!
Probably your distension may be due to gas.
Other possibilities like fluid, fetus, flatus, feces etc.
Conditions like acute gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome and food intolerance may present with abdominal distension. Avoid foods that cause abdomen distension, avoid spicy food and alcohol.
Use tab. Nexium before breakfast for one week. Tab. Simethicone twice a day for five days. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor. He will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
