What Causes Lower Abdominal Bloating And Nausea Upon Intake Of Food?

Had some nausea and dirrihea related to either a virus or food bacteria illness. It lasted abot one week. I continue to have some bouts of nausea that come and go briefly with lower abdominal bloating. bowel movements are normal. nausea usually comes after eating. this is very strange for me as I do not have this normally going on.

hi mam/sir,such bloating and nausea may be due to the damage to the gut mucosa and alteration of normal flora of gut(bacteria that is normally present in intestines and helps in digestion,absorption.it also prevents colonisation of harmful organisms.as your bowel habits have resumed to normal now,i dont think there is a need of an antibiotic.for nausea and abdominal bloating,below mentioned medications are recommended:
1)for nausea,tab.ondem md (dispersible when put under tongue)fast relief.
2)for abdominal bloating,omez insta sachets(1 sachet in a glass of water)you can also have tab.pantoprazole before food once daily.
3)for improvement of intestinal microflora tab.racecadotril twice daily for 14 days and tab.sporlac or available as sachets for 1 week.
if you dont find any relief even after a week of above treatment,kindly consult a gastroenterologist to rule out any other pathology.hope my explanation is clear.any further queations to be dealt with,please let me know.thank you.take care.bye.
