What Causes Constant Stomach Bloating Post Pregnancy?

I have been dealing with serious bloating/gas for a couple of years now, basically since my second child was born. I look pregnant in the evening. I ve had an endoscopy, taken antibiotics to kill any bacteria that may be in my stomach and today I had an ultrasound to check my gallbladder and also negative, however, there was so much air the tech had a hard time finding the gallbladder. I ve been taking VSL#3 which is a mega probiotic which helps a lot with my burping which could be REALLY bad but it does not clear the bloating. I m 43 with 2 kids and in great shape, but my belly is always really bloated. I Any ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history post pregnancy stomach bloating, looks pregnant in the evening, had endoscopy taken antibiotics to kill bacteria, ultrasonography shows lot of gas and difficult to see the gall bladder, wants to know the facts.
I would suggest you the following:
Since the commonest cause can be an anxiety and/or stress of any sort, it is better to remember all the points that leads to this and to improve on by.
Since you have been taking all the care like mega probiotic, this cause of bacterial flora imbalance is ruled out.
I find this answer helpful
