You are mostly want to say you are having this presentation from constipation or gas or indigestive problem....
But before that USG abdomen and CBC done to exclude any organic cause if present
If fluid accumulation revealed after examination than liver profile, kidney problem and serum protein checked along with USG
For better digestion apart from fiber diet, you can eat fruit more and avoid sedentary life style Drink more water If gas associated than digene syrup can be prescribed
If you are having constipation than psyllium in milk can be prescribed
Take care
Consult physician for examination with keeping all this in mind
