What Causes Excessive Abdominal Bloating?

I am having extreme gas and bloating. When I burp it feels like it is coming from the very bottom of my abdomen and up through my mouth. It smells horrible! I take medicine for acid reflux and I have also taken aPepsid Complete tablet. I feel like I am going to explode! What do you think is wrong with me?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Since you have a history of abdominal bloating, it is commonly due to indigestion, liver insufficiency, IBS, gastritis, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis. Stay away from spicy, oily junk food, take home made food & increase fiber in your diet. Take plenty of water, avoid constipation & regularize your toilet habits. Avoid food to which you have allergy. Sometimes lactose intolerance causes gastritis & discomfort.

Visit ER, get physically examined, go through all the blood workouts, imaging test, get evaluated, get treated. Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. In the meantime take Enzymes for better digestion, antacids & PPI's to stay comfortable, take all the medications under a PCP.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
