Hi welcome to the health care magic

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
