What Causes Abdominal Bloating Post Intake Of Food?
my husband is experiencing bloating when eating and drinking, he has had some nausea and now his stool is dark and most recently he goes to the bathroom very frequently and its like water coming out. Is there something specific we should be looking for and what could it be? Thank you

Hello,
Most probably it is due to gastritis or acid reflex.
As the first-line management, you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief,
Avoid spicy foods as it might cause exacerbation of symptoms.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
In that case you might require an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
