What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Backache?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Being bloating is a sign that food is not properly digested in your gastrointestinal tract. Alteration in intestinal flora is one of the most common causes. Probiotics would help. Pancreatic enzymes can also ease digestion together with antacids. Take a stool culture test to rule out candida and treat it adequately. Pancreatic cyst can be problematic if function of pancreas is altered. So pancreatic function test is required. If still no improvement, upper endoscopy and abdominal CT scan further recommended to determine the right cause. Wish fast recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
