Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating And Discomfort

I have been suffering from bloating and discomfort in my lower abdominal for the past month. I am also experiencing a lot of burping and ocassional diarrhea. I am currently on a vegan diet and have been vegan for about 6 months and vegetarian for over a year. Even after going to the gym, eating smaller meals and having bowel movements I still feel bloated and full. Any idea what this could be?

hello

This sounds like dysbiosis. Try a course of probiotics, if it persists, do a stool culture and lastly if required, you will need a colonoscopy and endoscopy.
