You may be suffering from chronic constipation or IBS -C or gastritis or food Intolerance. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Take high fiber diet and regular exercise. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms not improved, then use tablet Simethecon twice a day for five days.
Please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
