Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

A certain degree of bloating is normal, but in case of excessive bloating, it may be the sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.

So you should do gastroenterology work up but first try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take mentha tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.

Also, there are medications such as Flobian, Magnesium oxide or certain laxatives which may relieve such symptoms.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
