Hi and thanks for the query
Abdominal bloating is usually due to a loss of compliance or elasticity of stomach and rarely intestines. This may be secondary to -
1) Intrinsic GI problems - Inflammation, infiltration or infection and lactose intolerence
2) Systemic problems - Diabetes, Thyroid problems, neuropathy and bacterial overgrowth
BILE REFLUX GASTRITIS indicates a gastro-duodenal motility problem and can be associated with bloating.
Hepatitis B is a virus which infects the liver and is not caused by bloating. Active hepatitis or an advanced cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis B can cause bloating.
Similary appendicitis is inflammation of appendic and can cause bloating but is not caused by bloating.
As you are from Delhi you should also get yourself checked for Celiac disease.
The treatment depends on the cause, hence discuss the above possibilities with your doctor and proceed accordingly. I am here if you have any doubts further.
