Bloating, Stomach Inflation, Eat In Moderation. What Is The Cause?

Hi, I am having problems with bloating and my stomach area seems to have gotten bigger even though I am slim everywhere else. I dont know if this is a food allergy , food intolerance or medical thing or if it is just weight gain . I dont excercise as I have always been slim and didnt have a big belly before. my diet isnt the best either, I just eat what I want but i dont eat excessively.

Hi.
Thanks for choosing HCM.
You have not stated your age. Please start an exercise regimen in right earnest.
Generally there is midriff weight gain after age of 40 years if one doesn't exercise.
You may also have to look for certain foods which could be giving you bloating & avoid them.
Take anti-Flatulent tabs available on the counter & try. If no relief, please get an Endoscopy done after 2 weeks.
Take care.
