Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Bloating And Pain

What can be happening that for about 2 weeks now my stomach has been acting up more than usual. By this I mean an incredible amount gas and my abdomen gets bloated. I usually get bloated on my lower stomach but I never had problems with upper part. I only weight 103 - 105 pounds and I have been about that weight all my life except during preganacies.

Thank you for your question. You could have a food sensitivity and be eating something that disagrees with you. There is a blood test for this your doctor could order for you. Without knowing what is causing your bloating, the over-the-counter remedy for it is called Simethicone, otherwise known as Gas-X, which helps dissolve the bubbles that cause stomach distention. This may help take away the symptoms, again, without knowing what the trigger is. Try to monitor the foods you eat and keep a diary of when the bloating happens. This will take some detective work. Also make sure you are up to date with colonoscopy if you are >50 and gynecologic exams if you are female, as these are other areas that could be affecting you feel.
