Hello, Bloating is commonly caused by IBS, gastroparesis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, side effects of certain medications(narcotics, anti-depressants, anti-convulsants, etc), lack of exercise or sedentary lifestyle, hypothyroidism, diabetes, indigestion & bowel obstruction. Sometimes, allergy to food like lactose, dairy products, food high in fat & sugar cause bloating. Be careful with what food you take. Get a thorough medical check-up with all the investigations done to rule out the pathology that affects you. Get evaluated & treated at the earliest. In the meantime, take plenty of water, do regular exercises, increase fiber in your diet, take warm milk at bed time. SSRI s like Pantoprazole or Rabeprazole are effective, you can also take laxatives & antacids for symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
