Hi there and thanks for your question....

Bloating can occur because of number of reasons but the two most important reason of bloating are use of gas producing foods like cabbage, cola drinks, cauliflower, potato, but if someone has persistent bloating he or she should be investigated to rule out the possibility of gall stones.

So I will suggest you to avoid food as I mentioned and get Ultrasonography to rule out the possibility of gall stones. Treatment depends on exact diagnosis; ultrasonography will help you out to reach the final conclusion. Get that and proceed further.

Regards,
Have a nice time...
