What Causes Bloating In The Upper Abdomen?

I have terrible bloating in the upper, mid-abdomen with a lot of discomfort ALL THE TIME I know I have had benign tumors in the small intestine, have multiple diverticulitis in both my intestines and bladder. Today, I was busy and didn t eat anything until about 1:00 - my abdominal area was quiet and felt normal until I ate something. Is there anything I can do for the discomfort aside from starving? I have RA, Lupus, Fibromyalgia and inherited neuropathy. Is this related to any of those conditions?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Your pain seems to be due to long time starving followed by eating( may be spicy or large serving)... that has stimulated /irritated gastric mucosa to cause the symptoms.
Take over the counter pill of Ranitidine 300 mg to reduce the pain. ..you can such 2 pills of Gelusil mps in addition.
Consult your treating doctor for
diverticulitis/old intestinal problem.
Thanks.
