How Can Flatulence, Bloating And Frequent Bowel Movements Be Treated?

I experience daily bloating of my stomach, generally it is at the maximum extension (looking very pregnant) in the evening. Also am gassy, I feel full, bloated, but no pain. I have several bowel movements each day, but really small ones. ( All my life until these symptoms of the last year, I would wake up and have a full BM with in half an hour and no more BMs.)

Hi welcome to the health care magic

According to history provided excess bloating present with frequent bowel movement

Likely cause seems to be functional bowel problem...

Other causes are...
-stress
-eating too fast and too much intake of fatty foods
-Smoking
-celiac disease
-irritable bowel syndrome
-acid reflux etc..

So if any of cause present than accordingly treatment given

You can be given fiber supplements for functional bowel problem and take green leafy vegetables, fruits more

If you are in stress, yoga and meditation beneficial.. If needed psychiatrist's help can be taken

If having bowel problem only after eating gluten containing diet like wheat than celiac disease ruled out by anti endomysial antibody and Anti tissue transglutaminase antibody work up...

Take food in lunch and dinner slowly

If acid reflux associated than rabeprazole can be prescribed

If still after rule out all above cause symptoms present than endoscopy and USG like further investigative work up needed

Take care

Hope your concern solved
