What Causes Bloating Feeling And Gas In Stomach?
Hi, I am 41 year old. Last several months I noticed that while I am in office & starting late afternoons my stomach starts bloating. Alomost that I add up one size to my stomach. This is combined with gas as well. This continues till late night. But in the mornings, my stomach is abolsutely flat. I have tried different food options but no benefit. I tried eating small small portions & even that does not help. What could be the reason for this bloated feeling & gas. Do I need to take any medicine?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 41 years old male having bloating while in office and starting late afternoons, with gas, continues til night. But he stomach is flat in the morning, tried different food options, eating small nothing helps.
Since the timing is so certain, the commonest cause I can think of is anxiety.
Your problems get started the moment you go to the office, this is the time you start getting anxiety/stress and thus aerophagia.
This aerophagia causes the bloating and thus the problems that you have.
Get control over the anxiety and/or stress and you will be fine
