What Causes Persistent Bloating And Abdominal Discomfort?

I am 66 yrs old and in good health. I experience discomfort from a bloating that has been going on for several months. I take probiotics including vsl3 to no avail. I eat lots of yogurt. I exercise almost every day. My colonoscopy was normal two years ago. Is it normal to have only one bowel movement a day? Is this my problem?
