Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Abdominal distension may be due to gastritis or food Intolerance or Irritable Bowel syndrome or infection or obstruction etc..Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
